Three blind electorate on Monday voted smoothly with the braille at the Ebenezer Day Care Centre B at the Ayawaso East Constituency in the Greater Accra Region.

Madam Francisca Atakpa, Presiding Officer, told the Ghana News Agency in an interview that the polling station had recorded three blind electorate who went through the process with the braille to exercise their franchise.

She said the Electoral Commission provided the brail for people with disability, adding that: “It’s their civic responsibility to vote as a citizen and they shouldn’t be deprived of that, so this was provided for them to ensure a smooth process.”

Voters with visual impairment in the Asante-Akim South constituency are refusing to use the tactile jackets provided at various polling centres to aid them, cast their votes.

They prefer to be assisted by the Presiding Officers (PO) rather than voting on their own with the help of the jackets.

Five of such voters told the Ghana News Agency that they were not familiar with the jackets and that they trusted the POs to choose their preferred candidates on their behalf.
