Sen. Ighoyota Amori, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has implored the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to further facilitate the process of registration and collection of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs).

Amori from Delta gave the advice in an interview with Newsmen on Monday in Abuja.

The senator decried the stress voters were subjected to at registration centers, saying it is one of the factors responsible for the high number of voter cards yet to be collected.

Amori said that something must be done urgent by INEC to simplify the process of registration and collection of the PVCs.

 Amori said although the commission had limited resources, something must be done to address the issue of distance between the people and registration centers.

The senator also called for a situation where people could register and vote in any part of the country.

Amori said in developed climes, the days of voting are never declared public holiday, people will just vote and go back to their offices.

“Here you will declare public holiday and restriction of vehicular movement; you are killing the economy of the country. “INEC should devise means where you can register at your comfort without stress, because people turn 18 every day. “They can have a centralized registration center in banks or schools. Let there be a system where when you turn 18 you walk into any designated center, register and get your PVC.’’

 Amori also advised the commission to ensure that it truly remains an independent umpire that would be just and fair to all at all times.
