The Institute for Democratic Governance (IDEG) is asking the Electoral Commission not to allow itself to be pushed into a wholesale extension of the 40-day biometric registration exercise.
IDEG suggests the EC should rather consider very carefully limited extension with key stakeholders for centres that experienced extensive days of "no registration" due to equipment breakdown.
IDEG is also asking the Police Service to swiftly investigate and expedite action on all reported cases of violence especially in areas such as Odododiodio, Asunafo South, Tain, Techiman among others and prosecute culprits without fear or favour.
These were contained in a release by IDEG on Wednesday, based on an interim report submitted by its team of observers dispatched to 30 constituencies to monitor the ongoing registration exercise.
IDEG was however satisfied with progress made at most centres in registering eligible voters for the 2012 elections with most centres achieving daily targets of about a 100 people after the hitches of the first three days.
This IDEG noted, is evidenced by the nearly ten million people that have so far been registered.
It also praised the EC in the priority and attention given to the aged, PWDs, pregnant women and nursing mothers to register
