The limited voter registration exercise for eligible voters has been launched by the Electoral Commission in advance of the general election on December 7.
The exercise is scheduled to begin on May 7, 2024, and end on May 27, 2024.
Approximately 623,000 new voters nationwide are anticipated to be registered by the EC.
“The registration will be from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. And that gives us the figure of 623,000 that we have put there. That is not to say that we cannot go beyond that. We did mention that in 2023, we projected 700,000 people to visit our registration centres.” The commission boss, Jean Mensa said.
She also assured that the ongoing power crisis will not affect the process as standby generators are provided for backups at various centres.
“We are trying hard to, we’ve made arrangements to ensure that we don’t have challenges because of dumsor. What we’ve done is to have all our district offices rent generators so that in the event where there’s dumsor, that can kick in.
“However, should there be the unexpected, we would switch on to the offline and by offline it means the voters will be registered and their details will be put on a pen drive that will be copied in our offices when the light returns, so the registration will not be disrupted.”
