Bello encouraged the electorates to first of all check the list posted by INEC, to confirm their names before joining the queue to avoid unnecessary confusion.

He said those that had lost the slips given to them could still collect their PVCs, as long as they can identify their names on the list, and the office could identify their pictures on the PVC.

He however, said some people may not have PVCs, because of issues of double registration, adding that the commission cleaned its register and fished out such people.
