EC to deploy officials to SHS to register final year students

The Electoral Commission (EC) has at a just-ended emergency IPAC meeting says it will deploy registration officials to senior high schools (SHS).

The officials will on Friday and Saturday will go to register final year students as part of the ongoing voters' ID registration exercise.

The EC's Acting Director of Public Affairs Sylvia Annoh said the two-day exercise will be held in all SHS that do not have polling stations within their schools.

"All qualified Senior High School students who are 18 and above are therefore encouraged to present themselves at these registration centres within their schools with either a passport or Ghana Identification Card.

"However, additional days will be announced when it becomes necessary to ensure that all eligible voters are registered."

Mrs Annoh further guaranteed the safety of applicants.

According to her, all the Covid-19 safety protocols will be strictly adhered to.

She also asked political parties to send their agents to the various centres on the schools' premises to ensure the smooth running of the exercise.
