EC commences limited voter registration exercise today
Ghana’s Electoral Commission will today, Monday,
17 June 2019 commence the limited voter registration exercise.
An injunction application against the exercise
forced the election management body to put it on hold until after the court
dismissed the case recently.
The limited exercise will end on Sunday, 7 July
2019.
In a statement signed by Chairperson Jean Mensa,
the EC said it was announcing “for the information of the general public that
the limited voter registration exercise will now take place from Monday, 17
June 2019 to Sunday, 7 July 2019”.
Documents required for registration include a
Ghanaian passport, a valid driver’s licence, a National Identification card and
an old non-biometric voter’s identity card for those who registered before the
2012 Voters Registration Exercise.
Applicants who do not have any of the above
documents may go to the registration centres with two registered voters to
serve as guarantors.
The exercise should have started on June 7 and
ended on June 27 had the EC not been dragged to court.
