The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has commenced the display of the Register of Voters and collection of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) across the territory.
According to a public notice signed by Mrs. Abimbola Oladunjoye, on behalf of the FCT Resident Electoral Commissioner, the exercise is being held in all 62 Registration Area Centres (RACs) in the FCT and will end on Thursday, October 15, 2026.
The commission, however, said that the exercise would continue at the six area 2council offices from October 16, 2026.
It urged all registrants in the FCT to take advantage of the exercise to check the correctness of their names on the register, confirm and identify their Polling Units, raise objections to the inclusion of ineligible persons, and collect their PVCs if they registered, transferred, or updated their records before 2026 and are yet to collect their cards.
The commission clarified that PVCs for the 2026 Continuous Voter Registration exercise were currently not available, adding that voters would be duly notified as soon as the cards were ready for collection.

INEC Chairman Joash Amupitan, during a strategic engagement meeting with journalists in Abuja, announced that the cards would be distributed from October 9, 2026.
