The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says 1,906,390 registered voters in Osun State have collected their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) ahead of Saturday’s governorship election in the state.
The INEC National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education, Mohammed Haruna, disclosed this in a statement issued on Thursday, August 13, 2026.
Haruna said the figure represented 81.50 per cent of the total 2,339,233 registered voters in Osun State.
Haruna said 432,843, representing 18.50 per cent of the total voters, had yet to collect their PVCs.
He added that the uncollected PVCs have been safely deposited with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), in line with INEC’s established practice.
“Persons whose PVCs were damaged, defaced or lost applied for replacement of cards,” he said.
