AHEAD of the 2015 general elections, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has said that it would soon issue permanent voters' card to eligible voters in the country to ensure a smooth conduct of the polls.
The INEC chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega who stated this Monday in Abuja at a meeting with the Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs) from all the states of the Federation and Abuja and top officials of the Commission said that the decision followed the approval given to it last week by the Federal Executive Council, (FEC) to produce another batch of 33.5 million permanent voters' cards.
The Commission had earlier produced 40 million permanent voters' cards, which Jega promised would be issued to the owners along with the current ones before the end of December this year.
The INEC chairman also revealed that the much-awaited reorganisation/restructuring in the commission ahead of the general election had commenced and would be a continuous exercise until better results were achieved. He added that the proposed delimitation of constituencies would be carried out before the elections as promised.
The INEC chairman who used the occasion to introduce the newly appointed Directors and Head of Departments, (HODs) to the RECs promised that the commission would continue to hold regular meetings with REC members, noting that it would help it in its determination to conduct credible polls in 2015.
