The Independent National Electoral Commission says it will not entertain the use of temporary voter cards during the upcoming general elections.
The Resident Electoral Commissioner in Cross River, Frankland Briyai, said this at a workshop on Election Risk Management.
The workshop was organised by the commission for stakeholders and electoral officials from the 18 local government areas in Cross River as part of preparations for the general elections.
Briyai, who spoke through the Electoral Officer of Bekwarra, Asuquo Affiah, said that the commission would only recognise the Permanent Voter Cards during the polls.
He added that the extension given by the commission for collection of PVCs ended on Monday.
He urged all stakeholders to join hands with INEC in ensuring that the electoral process was free, fair and credible.
