Voter’s Exhibition Exercise Begins Today
The Electoral Commission (EC) will commence its nationwide voter exhibition exercise today, August 20, and it will run until August 27th.
According to the Deputy Chairman of the EC in charge of Corporate Services, Dr. Bossman Asare, the exercise aims to help voters locate their respective polling stations.
Dr. Bossman Asare indicated that registered voters can request the inclusion of omitted names, object to names of voters in the register, and request the removal of names of deceased persons, among other things, during this period.
“The Commission again, urged the general public, especially, registered voters to show interest in the voter exhibition exercise to assist the Commission in updating and producing a credible voter register for the 2024 general elections.
“The exhibition exercise also provides an avenue for qualified citizens to object to the names of minors, and foreigners. By minors, we mean those who are not 18 years old. In addition, qualified applicants can object to the names of persons who are not residents in the electoral areas where they registered.”
The Inspector General of Police, Dr George Akuffo Dampare, noted that police officers will be deployed to ensure that order prevails at the various voter exhibition centres.
“We urge the public to patronise the exercise. Go there if you are very concerned and if there is any security concern, speak to our officers on the ground and we will deal with it humanly in a way that will satisfy everybody
