The Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Jean Mensa says the vision of the Commission is to promote an inclusive participatory registration process.

According to Madam Mensa, the Commission does not intent to disenfranchise eligible voters.

She explained that while the first two days of the registration exercise came with some challenges, the issues were "swiftly resolved."

The EC Chairperson also said the long queues that were witnessed on the first week of the exercise have been addressed with the addition of more registration stations at some the centres.

Again, faulty equipment or machines have been replaced.

“We wish to assure the citizens that we have their best interest at heart. We do not intend to disenfranchise eligible voters. It is in our interest to register them all," she added.

The Chairperson of the EC, Jean Mensa, addressing the media at the 'Let The Citizens Know' series on Monday, September 18, assured Ghanaians that the EC is working with the Ghana Statistical Service to determine areas where the registration is low due to inaccessibility to the EC’s district offices.

A date will then be set by the Commission for a mop-up exercise to ensure all eligible voters are captured on the electoral roll ahead of the 2024 polls.

“We plan to institute continuous registration in all our district offices nationwide in 2024 for a considerable length of time. In addition to that, we will identify difficult to access areas and undertake a mop up registration exercise in those areas,” Madam Jean Mensa stressed.

Meanwhile, the Electoral Commission (EC) has denied claims that it is seeking to disenfranchise voters in the ongoing limited voter registration exercise, especially in NDC strongholds.

The Commission insists the issue of faulty devices was recorded in all 16 regions except some part of the Savannah region.
