you can only vote at the polling unit u registered
Yes you can only vote in the polling unit you registered but when you go there he will be asked where he is coming from and he will be registered on that location they have various hardcopy at the inec from various location that's what they did to me and like I said I have gotten mine. Carrying the name of where I stay.

I did mine at Karu. It went smoothly. Lots of interruptions from men in uniform, but I finally got mine and left around 2pm. I was 153 when I got there around 9am.
Please where in Karu?

This is 2018.


I do not understand why getting voters card should be so tedious. Remind me again why we need quarter of a billion naira against next year elections? It's even easier in some African countries and some douchebags would have the nerves to call Nigeria the giant of Africa.

The process of getting the PVC is intentionally tedious. It's a way to keep very busy people off. .


Also what's the point of getting a PVC in a country where elections would still be rigged?


We should just accept that Nigeria has failed in every ramification and doesn't even deserve to be called a country.
The rigging is already on many will be disenfranchized to make buhari win I understand getting pvcs is much easier in the north.

I did mine in Kubwa last week but was given the temporary card. Have they started giving out the main PVC.

No he won't vote in karu he will just tell them where he is coming from and why he couldn't do the registration close to where he is, I did my in karu and I stay in apo dutse and I have collected mine like I said and I will be able to vote in that very dutse apo
Who told you that he will be able to vote where he resides? If he registers in Karu, it means that he will only be eligible to vote in no where else but Karu. Not even in the nearest polling booth close to his home but in Karu where his name can easily be verified in a registry. The card reader was supposed to make voting an all enclusive thing irrespective of where you registered. For example, if you register in the west and by virtue travel to the north during the election period, you should be able to vote over there in the north inasmuch as your card is verified by the card reader. But this is not so in Nigeria, where the voting pattern was deliberately altered to favour one region against the other. We in the south will keep on getting disenfranchised until we insist that voting should be all encompassing irrespective of where you registered. What is the rationale behind having a voters card when you are restricted to voting only in the place of registration. So that means if I have a voters card registered in the east in 2015, and whereby I have relocated to the west, it then means that I will be disenfranchised from voting in the west. Or for instance, if I registered In Karu and live in Wuse, then I'll be expected to risk my life all in the name of finding my way to vote in Karu on election day. So that means a person will be expected to start crossing military checkpoints in order to get through to his area of registration despite the restrictions in movement on the election day? I'm pained as days go by because I have a voters card of which I registered in the north, but cannot vote in my current location down south because of such executive lapses.

That is not the only way my friend, yes Nigerian need revolution but we also need to change the narratives as the youth of this country. Not everything is done by violence but enough can be done with the PVC if we really want to turn things around many did it in 2015 for buhari with the media and power of social media it can still be done come 2019.
Your point is........

My point is that's as much as the difficulty presenting itself by the inec staff you should wait it out and get registered. They already have the number we can actually beat them in there own game this time around all we need is actually a credible candidate that's all.
