At each of the centres, where all persons were required to wear face masks, have their temperatures taken by nurses drafted for the exercise, and made to wash and sanitize their hands, there was strict adherence to social distancing, with eligible voters staying a good one metre apart, and waiting their turn to go through the process to be registered.

The registration officials told the President that majority of persons who had turned up to be registered were in possession of the Ghana Card and passports.
They also indicated that a small number of persons who came to the centres without any of the required forms of identification, submitted a completed Identification Guarantee Form, endorsed by two registered voters, to be registered and issued with a voter ID card.

The officials also informed the President that they were supplied with the needed inputs to enable everyone at the centres to observe hygiene and safety protocols that were laid out for the exercise that commenced on Tuesday, June 39, 2020.
After his tour of those centres, President Akufo-Addo urged the registration officials to adhere strictly to the set protocols outlined to ensure the safety of all persons who visited the registration centres.
He also admonished the persons who had queued at those centres to observe the Covid-19 safety protocols, whilst going through the process to be registered.
