Fill in the information required on the form: name, address, contact number etc., as well as other details specific to what you are applying for (lost voter ID card or duplicate).
Write “Application for Duplicate Voter Card” at the top of your letterhead with all capital letters in black ink so that it stands out from other words on the page; this will make it easier for officers at many police stations not having direct access to printers but need only write their desired text by hand before submitting their applications through postal service providers like DHL Express Nigeria Ltd., Federal Express Nigeria Ltd., United Parcel Service Nigeria Ltd., etc.. These are private companies whose sole purpose is delivery services within Africa’s largest economy where many citizens still struggle financially even though its economy continues growing each year at an average rate exceeding 5% annually since 1994–a remarkable feat considering that 2016 saw one of its worst droughts ever recorded since independence from British rule back in 1960s!
