About this course

A plain-language, strictly non-partisan class on the Permanent Voter Card: who is eligible, how INEC's continuous voter registration works online and in person, transfers, replacements, collection, and what actually happens at the polling unit on election day. You finish able to sort out your own registration and confidently guide family and neighbours through theirs.

'Government no dey see us' is one of the most common complaints in Nigeria — in the danfo, in the market, at the mechanic's shed. Yet many of the people saying it have no Permanent Voter Card, or the card is sitting uncollected in an INEC office, or it is registered in a village they left ten years ago. The PVC is the one lever an ordinary citizen holds that politicians genuinely respect, and this course is about getting that lever into your hand and keeping it working.
