October 7: EC to exhibit voter register for one-day registration

The Electoral Commission (EC) has announced October 7, 2020, as the date for the exhibition of the voter register for Ghanaian citizens who took part in the recent one-day voter's registration exercise.

The one-day exercise will take place from 7 am to 6 pm, the EC said in a public announcement.

The Commission also urged all persons who took part in the exercise to go to the District Offices where they registered to check their names and ensure that all their details are properly captured.

It will be recalled that the voter register was re-opened on October 1 to enable those who have attained the age of 18 and citizens who were not able to register to do so.

However, during the exercise, a number of Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) kits at some centres issued applicants with identification (ID) numbers that had already been issued.

In a statement, the EC explained that the error had been corrected.

It said the affected applicants would be contacted and issued with new ID cards with unique numbers.

“It is important to note that, the biometric and biographic details of the affected applicants are intact,” the statement added.
