The Electoral Commission is proposing daily registration as a means of addressing the challenges it faced during the voters’ registration exercise two years ago.
The Commission is currently meeting with the media and interest groups in Accra to assess the 2012 voters register as well as the electoral process.
Joy News' Michaela Anderson reported the Chairman of the EC Dr Kwadwo Afari Gyan as saying that CI 72 mandates the Commission to register prospective voters on continuous basis.
To that effect he said, the EC will soon announce when the daily registration process will begin but hinted it may begin next year.
As part of the new proposals the EC says if a prospective voter is unable to provide a prescribed form of an identity card, two registered voters may be allowed to guarantee for the person before he or she will be allowed to vote.
But the General Secretary of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) Johnson Asiedu Nketia is reported to have kicked against the new proposal.
He said the attestation procedure will only be entertained during the period of registration and not voting. He was emphatic that the no verification no vote system should be allowed to work.
In his presentation Deputy EC chair Amadu Sulley outlined the legal framework, data gathering and challenges confronted when putting together the register.
