1. NEW ELECTION
SCHEDULE:
SATURDAY,
MARCH 28, 2015 –
Presidential and National Assembly Elections (original
date: February 14)
SATURDAY,
APRIL 11, 2015 –
Gubernatorial and State Assembly Elections (original date: February
28)
2. WHO CAN VOTE: Registered Voters Who have their Permanent Voters Card (PVC), after having
exchanged their Temporary Voters Card (TVC). You cannot (or should not)
have both TVC and PVC, because to obtain a PVC, you must have turned in your
TVC in exchange.
3. PVC: This is a
plastic card with your picture and other details, including a 19-Character
VOTER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (VIN), and bar code at the back. You must present
it at your designated Polling Unit (PVC-PU) to vote.
4. TVC: This is
laminated card also with your photo-id, with much of the same information as on
the PVC (for example, same VIN). Presenting it however will not enable you to
vote. It will have the Polling Unit (TVC-PU) at which you at which you
registered.
5. NOTE:
Without registering, you cannot get a TVC. Without a TVC, you cannot get
a PVC. But just as you picked up your TVC yourself, you must pick up your PVC
yourself. Also while you have the same VIN on your TVC and your PVC, the PVC-PU
need not be the same as the TVC-PU, because where you registered to get your
TVC may be different from where you are assigned to vote.
6. PU Example: PU: 07/13/11/029 [ie State #7, LGA
#13, Ward # 11 and Polling Unit #29]
7. VIN Example – 90F5-AF9C-D829-5785-273 [Note down the last five or seven
numeric digits]
8. IF YOU ALREADY HAVE
YOUR PVC: but
you want to know where your designated Polling Unit (PVC-PU) is;
OR
IF ALL YOUR HAVE IS
YOUR TVC AND YOU WANT TO KNOW WHETHER YOUR PVC IS READY: then
Send an SMS to 0817-164-6879 with ONLY the following information:
Your State, Your Last
Name, Last Five or Seven Digits of your VIN (TVC or PVC)
Example: Rivers, Abraham, 5785273
or
Rivers, Abraham, 85273
9. WHAT YOU
GET AFTER YOU SEND THE SMS: Your mobile phone will
receive almost instantly, information including (IF AVAILABLE) your PVC-PU (eg
07/13/11/029) and its full location description in words. Note it down – this
is the PU at which you will vote. If you don’t have a PVC ready for you
at all, SMS back to you will be “UNABLE TO FIND TO ANY VOTER WITH THIS NAME…..”
In that case, it is unlikely you will be able to vote in these elections.
10. IF ALL
YOU HAVE IS STILL YOUR TVC: And detailed information
via SMS is returned, then you are free to go and collect your PVC. Have
your TVC with you – you must exchange it for the PVC.
11. TO FIND
OUT WHERE TO COLLECT YOUR PVC IN EXCHANGE FOR YOUR TVC
ii.
Then
enter your TVC-PU, press “Find Pickup Location”, and you will be provided with
the CENTRALIZED INEC location (Ward Office WO) where you can pick up your
PVC. Remember to take your TVC with you – you
need it to get your PVC.
