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.
