The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Niger says it still has 160,000 unclaimed Permanent Voter Cards (PVC).

He appealed to registered voters in the state to come forward and collect their PVCs.

Bungudu solicited the support of leaders of political parties and stakeholders in mobilising residents to come forward for their permanent voter cards.

He also appealed to the media to complement the efforts of the commission in sensitising residents on the importance of the PVC.
