CONTINUOUS VOTER REGISTRATION: 10 REASONS WHY NIGERIANS MUST GET THEIR PVC NOW

 

By APGA Press Corps

1. RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN DEMOCRACY

Registering for a PVC gives citizens the power to exercise their constitutional right to vote and be part of the democratic process. Without it, their voices cannot be heard during elections.

2. INFLUENCE LEADERSHIP CHOICES

Elections determine who governs Nigeria at all levels. A PVC is the only tool through which citizens can help elect credible leaders who will represent their interests.

3. HOLD LEADERS ACCOUNTABLE

With a PVC, citizens can vote out non-performing leaders and support candidates who are responsive to the needs of the people.

4. SHAPE THE FUTURE OF NIGERIA

Every vote counts. Registering ensures citizens play an active role in deciding policies that will affect education, healthcare, security, and economic development across the nation.

5. PREVENT DISENFRANCHISEMENT

Many people regret on election day when they realize they cannot vote due to lack of a PVC. Registering now ensures no one is left out of the process.

6. STRENGTHEN THE ELECTORAL SYSTEM

The more citizens register and vote, the stronger democracy becomes. High voter turnout makes elections more credible and reduces the chance of manipulation.

7. YOUTH AND WOMEN INCLUSION

Young people and women form a significant part of Nigeria’s population. Registering ensures their voices are not ignored in decision-making and governance.

8. PEACEFUL CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY

Getting a PVC is a peaceful way of demanding good governance. Instead of protests or violence, citizens can use their votes to effect change.

9. LOCAL GOVERNMENT REPRESENTATION

Beyond gubernatorial and presidential elections, a PVC allows citizens to elect competent leaders at the local government level who directly impact grassroots development.

10. LEGACY FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS

Registering and voting sets a positive example for younger generations. It shows that citizens value democracy and are willing to build a better Nigeria.
