Persons who have lost their ID cards can still vote on Dec. 7 - EC chair assures

The Electoral Commission (EC) has announced eligible voters who may have misplaced their voters' identification cards will not be disenfranchised on Monday.

Addressing the media ahead of election day, Chairperson of the EC, Jean Mensa encouraged all voters who turned up to register to go out and cast their votes peacefully.

“Any citizen who has misplaced his or her voters' ID card can still vote,” she said.

She explained, “this is because the commission has their biometric details on the biometric verification devices.”

“As such we entreat this category of voters to go to the polling station where they registered to cast their votes,” she added.

With just a day to the general election, the EC chair wants every eligible Ghanaian to “remember that your vote is your power” and asked that “we continue to pray for the peace of our nation.”

The general election, however, is exclusive to eligible voters whose details were not captured in the list of the Special Voters on December 1.
