Managing Editor of the Daily Dispatch newspaper, Ben Ephson has projected that the 8,000 multiple registrations detected by the Electoral Commission in the just ended biometric registration exercise could be higher.Mr. Epshon said the current figures published by the EC as detected multiple registration, were from a few of the equipment used to capture data, which means that many more of such offences may have been committed in other areas.He said he will not be surprised if the figure for multiple registration shot up to 12,000 after the register is thoroughly cleaned.The Electoral Commission released a provisional figure of over 12 million prospective voters who have registered in the 40-day registration exercise which ended last Saturday.The pollster, on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem on Monday said that the provisional figure of twelve 12,000,000 names recorded in the newly compiled register, could mean that close to one million ghost names may have been removed from the register.Ben Ephson however cautioned that the biometric registration may not be the panacea to vote rigging, stressing that vigilance by the political parties on election day will greatly help in checking electoral malpractices.
