The INEC Chairman Prof. Joash Amupitan says most permanent voter cards (PVCs) from the third phase of voter registration are produced overseas because of the processes and international protocols involved.
He said some cards were ready to be sent to states next week, with nationwide distribution scheduled to resume on December 1. PVCs from earlier registration phases and transfers have already been delivered.
Amupitan also said INEC was cleaning the voter register and removing more than 1.6 million invalid entries.
