Professor Abdulganiyu Raji, Osun State Resident Electoral Commission, has revealed that approximately 500,000 Permanent Voter Card are still to be collected for today's governorship election.

In an interview with Channels TV, he revealed that 1,955,657 registered voters are present and that 1,479000 of them have received their PVCs.

He said; 

“In Osun State, the total number of registered voters is 1,955,657 and out of this 1,479000 have collected their PVCs. We have a little less than 500,000 cards with us that are yet to be collected as of today; that is about 470,000 that are yet to be collected. So 1,479,000 are eligible to vote not that we are disenfranchising the remaining. Those are the ones that collected their cards that can actually show up tomorrow (today) and vote.

“When we are preparing for this election we did a lot of voter education and extensive sensitization of the voters even toward the end of the continuous voter registration. You recall that Osun State has the highest number of people who registered during the continuous voter registration.

“Similarly when we were doing the exercise for the collection of PVCs, we were overwhelmed in nearly all the centers. Last week the chairman was there and fully approved we extend the collection of the voter cards in the 332 wards.”
