EC to reopen voters’ registration exercise on October 1

Audio By Carbonatix

The Electoral Commission (EC) has said it will reopen the voters’ registration exercise on Thursday, October 1, 2020.

This comes on the back of criticisms about the initial exercise which ended last month as it currently undertakes the exhibition of the electoral album.

The EC convened an IPAC meeting on Thursday after the opposition NDC and other stakeholders outlined some irregularities which they believe will not ogre well with the process if allowed into the upcoming elections without rectification.

According to a statement released by the Commission, the one-day event will “give the opportunity to those who have attained the age of Eighteen (18) and Citizens who for one reason or the other were not able to register in the just ended Registration Exercise.”

The EC provisionally registered about 16 million people at the end of the biometric voters’ registration exercise which ended on August 9, 2020.

The registration will take place in the district offices of the Electoral Commission across the country from 7 am to 6 pm.
