The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says 87,209,007 permanent voter cards (PVC) have been collected across the country.
INEC Chairman Mahmood Yakubu disclosed this on Friday at the maiden briefing in the series of his proposed daily press briefing.
He noted that the current voter register contains over 94 million voters, but stated that the Commission will continue to clean it up with technology going forward.
According to data distributed to journalists, out of 93,469,008 registered voters in Nigeria, 93.3 percent have collected their PVCs.
However, 6,259,229 cards — representing 6.7 percent of PVCs — remain uncollected.
