The mistakes that could stop you from voting

Guardian Nigeria

Don't let your voice go unheard in the 2027 general elections! With time running out, discover the crucial steps you must take to avoid being disenfranchised.  Learn how to secure your Permanent Voter's Card (PVC) by registering at your local INEC office or through the CVH portal. Remember, no registration means no vote. Ensure all your details are accurate by updating them during the CVH period to prevent disqualification due to errors.  If you've moved, it's vital to transfer your voter registration or update your polling unit address. Visit the INEC office or use the CVH portal for this essential step. Lost or damaged PVC? Don't panic! Gather your affidavits and police report to get a replacement.  Finally, before casting your ballot, always confirm your polling unit location. INEC sometimes reassigns units, and visiting the wrong one will prevent you from voting. You can verify your status and polling unit on the INEC voter verification portal. Crucially, remember that you must collect your own PVC; no one can collect it on your behalf.  The Continuous Voter Registration (CVH) is ongoing, but the final phase before the election ends on July 10th. Act now to safeguard your right to vote!  #VoteNigeria #PVC #ElectionReady #NigeriaDecides
