The online re-exhibition of the 2024 Provisional Voter Register has begun, according to the Electoral Commission (EC), giving registered voters the opportunity to confirm their information in advance of the general elections.
The re-exhibition exercise is scheduled to occur between Tuesday, October 15, 2024, and Sunday, October 19, 2024.
As part of its efforts to guarantee a seamless and transparent voting process, the EC has launched this initiative.
Following a Special Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting on Tuesday, October 1, 2024, where the National Democratic Congress (NDC), the main opposition party, expressed concerns over possible inconsistencies in the provisional register, the decision was made.
On Monday, October 14, 2024, the EC provided the following explanation in a statement: “The Electoral Commission wishes to announce for the information of the General Public, Registered Voters and all Stakeholders, that Re-Exhibition of the Provisional Voters Register (PVR) will commence on Tuesday, 15th October and end on Saturday, 19th October, 2024.”
Voters may easily get their information by visiting the EC’s website at https://ec.gov.gh or by calling the free short code 71151#.
“Voters should click on the pop-up link at the bottom-right corner of the screen and enter the 10-digit Voter ID number to receive their voter registration details” the EC explained.
The EC urged the public to report any discrepancies to their respective District Office for prompt correction before the exhibition period ends.
“The Public should note that any discrepancies identified must be reported to the District Office of the Commission where they are registered voters for correction. Once the Re-Exhibition Exercise ends on Saturday, 19th October, voters will still be able to check their details Online but CANNOT request for correction of their details,” the statement read.
Additionally, political parties have been urged to report any differences they see using the template the Commission has given.
