dc.description.abstractThis paper examined the performance of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the 2015 general elections, with particular emphasis on the distribution of Permanent Voters Card (PVCs). Considering the significance of voter turnout to democracy, the major objective of this paper is to assess the effects of the distribution of Permanent Voters Card (PVC) on voter turnout and apathy vis-å-vis democratic consolidation. Through personal experience garnered from participant observation of the electioneering process and a qualitative assessment of extant and relevant secondary data, this paper submits that while the overall performance of INEC was commendable, the country's electoral body need to do more in terms of distribution of PVCs in order not to disenfranchise eligible voters and to conduct all-inclusive elections. This paper, concludes by proffering some recommendations on how to improve on future elections.
