Date and Time of the Exhibition
- The Exhibition of the Provisional Voters Register begins on Tuesday, 20th August and ends on Tuesday, 27th August, from 7am to 6pm each day.
- The exercise will take place at all Polling Stations (Exhibition Centres) in all the 268 District Offices nationwide.
Purpose of the Exhibition
- The purpose of the exhibition is to afford Voters the opportunity to review registration details, check their Polling Stations, make changes to their details, or make corrections. Registered Voters can verify their details, i.e., name, age, sex, polling station, and photograph as captured during the registration exercise and make requests for amendments/changes or insertions where necessary to their details in the Voters Register.
- The Exhibition Exercise also provides an avenue for qualified citizens to object to the names of minors, foreigners, and the deceased on the Voters Register. Additionally, qualified applicants can object to the names of persons who are not resident in the electoral areas where they registered and those who are not of sound mind.
- Any person who was not qualified to register as a voter can also go to the Exhibition Centre to have his/her name removed from the Voters Register. It is a crime to have your name on the register if you are not qualified.
- In the case of the deceased, Voters are required to produce the Voter ID of the deceased as well as proof of death, such as the Death Certificate or Burial Permit.
Special Voters Register
- The Special Voters Register will also be displayed at all the District Offices of the Commission. All those who applied to be included in the Special Voters Register must go to the District Office of the Commission in their constituencies to ensure their names are in the Special Voters Register.
Providing Political Parties with copies of the Provisional Voters Register
- Per Regulation 22 of C. I. 91 as amended by C. I. 126, the Commission is required to give the Provisional Voters Register to Political Parties not later than three months from the end of the registration period.
- The Limited Voters Registration Exercise ended on 29th May 2024, and the Mop-Up Registration Exercise ended on 3rd August 2024. On the basis of the Limited Voters Registration Exercise, the Commission has until the end of August 2024 to give the Provisional Register to the Political Parties.
- Nonetheless, the External Drives containing the Provisional Voters Register are ready for pick-up. The NDC has collected its External Drive, which contains the Provisional Voters Register.
- It is important to emphasise that this is a Provisional Register. At the end of the Exhibition Exercise, all corrections will be made before the Final Register is printed for the Elections.
Exhibition Mechanism
- For the information of the General Public, Voters are advised to go to the Exhibition Centers with their Voter ID Cards to verify their details.
- However, Registered Voters who fail to bring along their Voter ID Cards could also verify their details, but they cannot request any amendments to their details.
- Registered Voters can also verify their details electronically via Short Code *711*51# on all networks, at a fee of 50 Pesewas. This option will be available during the Exhibition and beyond.
- If the information received contains any errors with respect to the details of the Voter, the Voter would be required to go to his/her Exhibition Centre to effect the necessary corrections.
