2023: Nigerian Politicians Buying PVCs, Inducing Voters – INEC

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has accused some politicians of buying Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and financially inducing voters to harvest their Voter Identification Numbers (VIN).

The acting chairman of INEC and National Commissioner, overseeing the FCT, Nasarawa, Kaduna and Plateau states, Mallam Mohammed Haruna, said this in Abuja, during the launch of the #YourVoteMatters project by NESSACTION, an election observer group, on Monday.

The commission also said two persons have been recently convicted for illegal possession of PVCs in Sokoto and Kano states.

The project was supported by the International Foundation for Electoral System (IFES); the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.
