In advance of the general elections in December, the Electoral Commission (EC) has scheduled May 7–27, 2024, for updating the voter register.
The EC claims that this is done to enable those who just turned 18 to have their names added to the voter register.
During this time, anybody over the age of eighteen who has not yet registered for a voter ID card may also do so.
During a May Day Forum hosted by Organised Labour, Samuel Tettey, the Deputy Chairman of the Commission’s Operations, disclosed that the various political parties had been informed of this development.
“Voting registration is often the most complex and expensive component of the electoral process and it involves identifying which citizens are eligible to vote and producing a list of register of voters for use on polling day.
“Often a contested process and if wrong, they comprise the entire election process, so the voters’ register plays an important role in securing a very successful election” he said.
Mr. Tettey stated that in order to allow for name or other detail adjustments, a further exhibition of voter registration will be conducted.
