He said the commission before distributing the PCVs had deleted the names of prominent Bayelsans that passed after registration for the card and also cleared those that did multiple registrations from their system.

“The distribution exercise is still ongoing but we must at this point commend Bayelsans for their massive turnout to get their cards and urge those who are yet to come for theirs to do so.

“The commission has put in place measures to ensure that the distribution exercise is itch-free and nobody is denied the opportunity to get his or her PVC,” He added.
