2027 Elections: INEC Unveils QR Code System For PVC Collection In Lagos

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Lagos State has introduced a QR code system to help eligible voters locate designated Permanent Voter Card (PVC) collection centres ahead of the 2027 general elections.

According to reports monitored by Ireporter Online, the commission said voters would be able to access and scan the QR codes through its official website and social media platforms to identify the locations where they could collect their voter cards.

Speaking at a press conference at INEC’s Lagos headquarters, the Resident Electoral Commissioner, Professor Ayobami Salami, urged eligible voters to collect their PVCs and verify their registration details ahead of the elections.

Salami also advised residents to obtain election-related information from the commission’s official communication channels, stressing the importance of informed participation in the electoral process.

INEC disclosed that preparations for the 2027 general elections were ongoing across several areas, including the procurement and testing of voter accreditation devices, improvements to result transmission systems, logistical planning, and the recruitment and training of election personnel.

The commission explained that the introduction of QR codes was part of its efforts to make voter information more accessible and encourage eligible residents to collect their PVCs before election day.

The initiative is expected to help voters identify their designated collection centres more easily as preparations continue for the forthcoming general elections.
