ANEEJ Field Observation Report on CVR and PVC Collection Exercise in Edo State
The Africa Network for Environment and Economic Justice (ANEEJ), a core member of the Edo State Situation Room, a group monitoring the Edo State 2024 Governorship Election process, deployed field officers to observe the continuous voters’ registration (CVR) and Permanent Voter Card (PVC) collection exercise across different locations in Edo State. The exercise took place across the wards in the State from May 27th – June 5th, 2024 as scheduled by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). The timeline was later extended till June 9, 2024.
At the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Edo State headquarters, the CVR and PVC collection was not conducted even though people were visiting the place to register and collect their PVCs as announced. However, INEC officials at the headquarters were re-directing them to the specific centres where the exercise was going on.
