The Permanent Voter’s Card entitles you to vote.

The biggest advantage of receiving a Permanent Voter’s Card is having a say in the political affairs of the country as an eligible citizen. Your voter’s card is what you will use during the election process, and without it, you will be unable to exercise your right as a citizen and vote for the person you believe will be a better leader.

It is a reliable way of identification.

The Permanent Voter’s Card is recognized as a form of identification throughout the Nation since it is thought to include accurate information about you. The voter ID card incorporates several features that can be used to identify a person, particularly during the voting session. The voter’s card includes your photograph, full name, gender, date of birth, serial number, address, local government area, and other information. Other information, such as fingerprints and signatures, adds to the card’s security measures, ensuring that you will not be impersonated or impersonated by others during the voting session.

Furthermore, in the absence of a driver’s license, the voter ID card can be used as an alternate form of identity.

Your Permanent Voter’s Card can be used for official purposes.

A voter’s card is typically required for a variety of official purposes and transactions. Banks and other financial institutions, for example, normally ask you to provide a legitimate form of identification.

So, how do you go about getting a permanent voters card?

1. Go to your local government’s INEC registration center.

It is recommended that you select the nearest center to you. Look for the nearest polling unit.

2. Provide ID and have your biometric information captured by INEC officials.

Your birth certificate, national passport, identity card, or driver’s license could all serve as proof of identity.

When you get the word, go back to the registration center and show your Temporary Voters Card. Wait for your Permanent Voters Card.
