The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says it’s impossible for anyone to use another person’s permanent voter cards (PVCs) to vote. <\/p>\n

The commission said this in reaction to the alleged mop-up of PVCs in the north by some politicians. <\/p>\n

Last week, the Northern Elders Forum (NEF) alleged that some politicians were buying PVCs with N2,000 in the northern region.<\/a><\/p>\n

Speaking on the development, Festus Okoye, the INEC spokesperson, said politicians engaging in such action are wasting their time, describing it as an \u201cexercise in futility\u201d.<\/p>\n

He spoke on Sunday during an interview on Channels Television.<\/p>\n

The INEC spokesperson said the possibility of voting with acquired voter cards is next to impossible, stressing that the act can only be used for voter suppression.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are two possibilities here. The first possibility is for you to dispossess someone of his or her PVCs and get the person not to vote, in order words, you are engaging in voter suppression,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you purchase someone\u2019s PVC and the person does not vote, what that means is that one vote is out, so you are suppressing the vote in that particular constituency. That is one aspect.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe second aspect of it is that some politicians are very optimistic. They normally plan for the rainy days, they are still thinking that there is a possibility that they can beat the BVAS, which will be used for voter accreditation and authentication.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe that the exercise will be futile. Anybody who is purchasing PVCs is just engaging in an exercise in futility. The only thing the person can do with that PVC is to make sure that the owner does not vote on election day.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut for you to come on election day to the polling unit with a PVC belonging to someone else and you attempt to vote with it, it is next to impossibility.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe BVAS will not capture your fingerprint, it will not capture your facials.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
