The Electoral Commission (EC) has set Tuesday, June 30, to compile a new voters’ register for the presidential and parliamentary elections in December 2020.
According to a statement signed by the Deputy Chairperson of the Commission, the exercise will be held at all registration centres and district offices of the EC throughout the country.

Earlier on Tuesday, Parliament after a 106 -92 vote gave EC’s Constitutional Instrument (C.I. 126) the greenlight that will allow the Commission to compile a new voters’ register with new requirements.
In a subsequent statement signed by its Acting Director for Public Affairs Sylvia Annoh, the EC June 9 explained that safety precautions necessary in ensuring the preventing the spread of Covid-19 will be adhered to.
"The Commission wishes to reiterate that safety measures, including the provision of Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs) and hand sanitizers as well as the compulsory wearing of face masks by all, have been put in place at all designated registration centres throughout the country to protect applicants from contracting the COVID-19 virus."
The communiqué also revealed that a "cluster system of registration" will be used for the exercise adding that "all applicants will be notified of the movement plans of the registration teams through public announcements."
The EC, however, called on all stakeholders to join forces in making the process a successful one.
