How to get a PVC

• First of all, are you sure you don't have a valid voter registration from 2011? No? Proceed. (Find out on our ‘Resources’ page)
• Set aside a few hours or a day to do this.
• Registration days are Mondays to Fridays, 9am to 3pm. But from August 1 to 17, 2018 the schedule changes to 9am to 5pm. Monday to Sunday. Plus Public Holidays
• Carry documents that say who you are. Like an International Passport, Driver's Licence or Birth Certificate. (Not compulsory, but some INEC officials ask)
• Find the nearest INEC registration centre. Your Local Government Area office is a good place to start. (Find out on our ‘Resources’ page)
• When you're done, they'll give you a slip, a Temporary Voter's Card (TVC). That's what you'll collect your PVC with.
• Ask the INEC people when your PVC will be ready.
• Now, wait and pray. It could take up to 6 months.
