You have to produce the preliminary register of voters for this purpose which means they have to be millions of these would-be voters. That will be posted in the entire wards and local governments of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and that is a huge work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Also pointing out that the electoral umpire will produce and distribute the Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to the new registrants, Igini added that Section 17 of the Electoral Act only mandates the Commission to stop voter registration less than and not exactly 90 days to the election.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from this, he said, \u201cit is not only this that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/06\/15\/reps-reveals-number-of-days-inec-should-extend-voter-registration\/\">INEC<\/a> will be doing\u201d.
