2019 election: INEC speaks on ‘online sale of PVC’

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Sunday said it received reports of attempts to clone Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs) and sell them online.

Nigerians on social media had over the weekend raised alarm after Permanent voters’ cards, PVCs, branded with the Nigerian colour and logo was listed for sale on Chinese e-commerce giant, Alibaba.


However, in a swift reaction, the commission in a statement by Director, Voter Education and Publicity, Oluwole Osaze Uzzi, said ‘the clone and sale of the cards were anticipated and measures have been taken to preserve and further secure electoral materials.”

Osaze-Uzzi added that “Several security features and secret source codes are contained in the Smart Card Readers, which enable them to read only PVCs duly issued by the Commission. The advertisement shows photographs of blank cards, which have not been personalised and which do not contain any details.”
