The Electoral Commission has announced a mop-up registration exercise for eligible voters ahead of the 2024 general election.
Addressing a press briefing on Monday, July 29, Deputy Chairman in charge of Operations, Samuel Tettey, said the exercise will be conducted online and will run from Wednesday, August 1 to Saturday, August 3.
“As part of measures to ensure an all-inclusive voter's register ahead of the 2024 general elections, the Electoral Commission is organizing a mop-up voter registration exercise to give opportunity to eligible persons who could not register and those who have turned 18 years since the limited registration exercise to register as voters to enable them to vote in December,” he stated.
Mr Tettey clarified that the mop-up exercise is exclusively for eligible voters who have not yet registered. He warned that already registered voters are not eligible to participate and any attempts by them will be detected by the EC’s system and flagged.
The exercise will take place at all of the EC’s 26 District offices, 26 public universities, and 41 prison centers across the country. It will run daily from 7 am to 6 pm, he added.
Mr Tettey emphasized that the requirements for voter registration, as stated in regulation 2 of C.I 126 (as amended), apply to the mop-up registration exercise.
"Eligible individuals must present a Ghana card or passport as proof of eligibility. In the absence of these documents, an applicant will need two registered voters as guarantors. Registered voters can guarantee for up to 10 people."
