PVC Registration

The number of registered voters continues to rise at Oshodi-Isolo registration centre despite the rains and cost of getting to the Oshodi-Isolo Local Government Area registration centre from Isolo and Ejigbo.

Though the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has not announced a deadline for the registration, the number of registered voters recorded in the first two weeks of September exceeded August figures.

In August as reported by ECHONEWS, the analysis showed that 107, 160, 165, 141 were recorded in the first to the fourth week.

However, 191 and 166 registered voters were recorded in the first and the second week of September.

These have been the highest figures so far since the commencement of the registration as the exercise pulled high figures in the last two weeks.

Relating the difference, the sum of the  last two weeks exercise 357 outnumbered the first two weeks exercise which is 287 in last month.

Within the first two weeks of September, the commission registered intra/inter transfer of PVC, defaced PCV, missing PVC, omitted PVC and correction of PVC names.

There were only three intra transfer of PVC within Oshodi-Isolo Local Government Area and four inter transfer of PCV – from one local government to another.

Others include four defaced PVCs, one missing PVC, four omitted cases and the nine correction of names on PVCs.
