What are Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs)?

Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) are a type of identification card issued by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Nigeria. They are also known as Voter Registration Cards or Voter Identification Cards. The PVC is a unique card that contains the voter's personal details, including their name, address, and photograph.

What is the purpose of PVCs?

The primary purpose of PVCs is to serve as a means of identification for voters in Nigeria. The card is used to verify a voter's identity and ensure that only eligible voters can participate in elections. The PVC is also used to prevent multiple voting and to ensure the integrity of the electoral process.
