Rotimi Oyekanmi, chief press secretary to the INEC chairman, stated this in a statement.
“The Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs) issued by INEC in 2011 and after can be still be used by their respective owners to vote in all elections, including the upcoming Federal Capital Territoy (FCT) Area Council Elections, the Ekiti and Osun Governorship elections, as well as the 2023 General Election,” the statement read.
“To be sure, PVCs issued in 2011 and after do not need any revalidation,” he said.
