The total registered voters in the state are 1,795,794, while the total number received from Abuja so far is 1,642,607.
The total number distributed is 1,136,003, and the number that remained uncollected is 506,604.
The percentage recorded on the number of PVCs collected based on the number received is 69 per cent, while the percentage recorded on PVCs collected based on registered voters is 63.3 per cent.
