Governor Fashola has declaredFriday November 7, as
holiday for all public servants in the state, so that they can
collect their Permanent Voter Card (PVC) from INEC.
Distribution of the PVCs holds fromFriday, 7 tillSunday,
November 9. He also appealed for the private sector to
close early so that members of staff can go and pick up
their cards. The governor also urged eligible voters from
age 18 and above, to register.
"You have to register as a voter to be eligible to vote. We
must take it seriously to make sure our names are in the
voters register. Go to the polling centre to collect your
PVC. No business or job can be more important than to
collect your PVC.
BetweenNovember 7 and 9, those who want to collect the
PVC, should go out and collect them", he said.
Those who lost their temporary voter's card or have not
registered before, can do so when INEC conducts fresh
registration between 12 and17 November.
