Bayelsa State government has declared Monday, March 2, 2015 a public holiday to enable registered voters in the state to go to their registration centres and pick up their permanent voter cards (PVCs) ahead of the elections.
A Government House statement at the weekend, signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Daniel Iworiso-Markson, stated that, “All Bayelsans have equally been advised to take advantage of the weekend and the public holiday to visit their communities and places of registration to collect their PVCs”.
The statement added that the state government was already ensuring the provision of logistics support to political leaders, through the office of the Special Adviser to the Governor on Political Matters, to sensitise and mobilise the people in the eight local government areas and communities to obtain their PVCs.
The statement also asked political appointees and civil servants to ensure they were in possession of their PVCs as the government, beginning from Wednesday, would carry out an “Operation Show Your PVC” exercise.
