President John Mahama has intensified his voter education campaign with two days to the election, reminding his supporters to return their ballot paper if they thumbprint wrongly for a replacement. 

The President's focus as the December 7 general elections draws closer is more on educating his supporters on how to vote right so they don’t spoil their ballot on election day.

He says it is crucial he does this so their labour of crisscrossing the nooks and cranny of the country campaigning will not be in vain.

President Mahama once again highlighted this when he addressed a number of rallies Sunday to round up the last leg of his campaign in the Northern Region.

In Sawla, Mr Mahama who is seeking a second term in office, took his time to take his supporters through how to vote and reminded them they can get their ballot papers replaced in case they make a mistake.

"After you thumbprint wrongly, remember to clean your hands so that your thumb would be dry. If you don't clean your hands and you touch the paper again, it would make another thumbprint. When they are counting and they see another thumbprint, they would take it out," he directed the supporters. 

He said the laws of the elections allows for the voter to go back to the election officer to change the paper if they make a mistake on the paper.

"If you made a genuine mistake on the paper and you spoil it, don't put it in the box as it would be useless. Go back and ask for a new one, but make sure you don't spoil the second paper," the President said.
