The OurMumuDonDo Movement, the #TakeItBack Movement, and several civil society organizations have asked the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to give more Nigerians the opportunity to register and collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs).

In a letter submitted to Professor Mahmood Yakubu, Chairman of INEC, and read by the National Secretary of the OurMumuDonDo Movement, Raphael Adebayo, the group stated that the extension of the deadline would afford those born after May 29, 1999, and referred to as "Democracy Children" the opportunity to vote for the first time since the beginning of the fourth republic.

The group urged INEC to rescind its decision to suspend the CVR exercise on August 17, 2018, and instead, extend CVR till December 14, 2018 to enable many Nigerians register.

"We have been inundated with calls and complaints from frustrated Nigerians in different parts of the country, who are still unable to register as eligible voters," Adebayo stated.
