 The Independent National Electoral Commission has said that new permanent voter cards will be made available by November. Aina Chairman Mark Modyakubu, who spoke at a national endowment for democracy event in Washington D.C. in the United States, revealed that 2.7 million double registrations were weeded out of the last continuous voter registration exercise conducted by the Commission. According to him, about 50 percent of the new PVCs are ready, but yet to be distributed to collection centers, while he also expressed concerns about the rising levels of insecurity across the country about which he said the Commission has its fingers crossed. The obvious reason will be the largest elections in Africa and among the largest in the world. They will also be some of the most consequential. This hope that citizens have for a credible process can be undermined if you don't have an independent electoral commission of 2.7 million invalid registrants, 2.7 million weeded out. Now, Nigerians have been asking the Commission, when you finish registration and clean up the data, what about our cards without which we can't vote in an election? We call the card, the biometric card, the permanent voters card, and this will be available, we have said so repeatedly, for new registrants by next month, November. The perennial issue of insecurity in different parts of the country, compounded by the traditional issues of Thugry during elections, organized by some of the political actors.
