Catholic Bishops’ Conference states position on the voters register

We, the members of the Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference, have observed the many calls for a new voters register as Ghana gets ready for the 2016 presidential and parliamentary elections.

We commend the Electoral Commission, which, in keeping with its mandate of compiling the register of voters and revising same at such periods as determined by law, has requested all political parties and civil society organisations to make presentations at a stakeholders’ workshop to be organised by the commission on the state of the voters register.

It is our hope and prayer that all stakeholders, but, most especially, political parties that have been contacted to present inputs into the exercise, will be honest and truthful in their contributions in order to enable the Electoral Commission to conduct a fair, transparent and honest exercise to win the confidence of the Ghanaian public in the register and the electoral process as a whole.
