TheIndependent National Electoral Commission INEC says the total number ofcollected Permanent Voters Card PVCs across Nigeria is stood at 72,775,585.
Thechairman of the commission, Mahmood Yakubu, made these known on Thursday atINEC’s daily briefing since the postponement of last Saturday’s presidentialelection.
Hesaid that this implies the total number of votes across the country for thepresidential election cannot be more than 72 as only persons with PVCs that canvote.
Thecommission also said the number of uncollected voters cards is 11, 228, 582.This implies that this number of people registered prior to the elections butdid not collect their PVCS, meaning they are ineligible to vote in Saturday’selection.
