The civil society group, Justice for Ghana (J4G), has served notice of a planned sit-in demonstration at the premises of the Electoral Commission's headquarters in Accra.
The demonstration, set to begin on Friday, September 22, is to protest the EC’s insistence on organising the limited voters registration exercise at its district officers.
According to the group, this only suppresses and restricts the registration of voters contrary to Article 45 (e) of the constitution.
In keeping with their commitment to lawful and peaceful activism, the leadership of Justice for Ghana emphasised that they have adhered to the letter and spirit of the Public Order Act.
“We officially notified the Ghana Police Service of our intention to conduct this historic sit-in on Monday, September 18, 2023,” the group indicated.
J4G urged other like-minded individuals, organizations, and supporters of democratic principles to stand with them in demonstrating at the EC's office.
“All participants are reminded to wear black or red attire and carry their pillows and mats. Together, let us demonstrate our unwavering commitment to upholding the values of democracy and ensuring that the electoral process in Ghana is fair, transparent, and inclusive,” the group added.
