The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says it will announce the total number of uncollected permanent voter cards (PVCs) after the end of the distribution exercise.
INEC had fixed December 12 to January 22 for the collection of PVCs nationwide, ahead of the forthcoming elections.
According to chief press secretary to the INEC chairman, Rotimi Oyekanmi, the commission can only give the accurate number of PVCs yet to be collected after it has stopped distribution of the cards.
