3 Days to go , See 3 Easy Steps to Getting Your PVC

The 2019 elections are now 172 days away, and INEC has extended the registration process until August 31, just 3 days away!

It’s important that we ready ourselves for our future, and the only way to do this is by getting that small card called the Permanent Voters Card (PVC).
There are INEC offices in all local government areas in the country.
If you’re not sure if you’ve registered in 2011 or 2015, no worries, you can check INEC’s database with only your date of birth and your name.
And if you registered in a state or local government different from where you currently stay, you can learn how to transfer your registration.
Also important is that you do not sell your votes. It’s too important a thing to sell. It’s priceless! It’s literally your future.

Here are 3 easy steps to getting your PVC
1. Leaving Your Home Early
It is very important and you have to make a conscious effort to be up early to get to the registration centre closest to you. Early is relative, of course, but if you stay in densely populated areas like some places in Lagos, early can be as soon as 5:30 AM.
It’s important but not necessary that you have a valid ID card with you. School ID, drivers’ license, national identity card; all of them are valid. If you don’t have any, that’s fine.

When you get to the centre, look out for a list of names for registration, make sure you get your name on that list or you won’t be attended to. Also, if you can, make sure you go with a pen.
2. Look Out for the Registration Form
Now that you have gotten in, you will join another line to get the registration form. Make sure you fill in your details correctly, as this is the information that goes into your PVC. Do a double check if you have to.
3. Be Patient and Prepare for Capture
We all know Nigerians and queues have one kain relationship so be ready to join another one once you are done filling the registration form. This is where you will get your picture and fingerprints captured. This process should not take too long if there is more than one system available. You will be asked to crosscheck your details again, please do that.
That’s it. Your temporary voter’s card will be printed out and you can go ahead to laminate it. Easy!
