The Vice President Paa Kwesi Amissah-Arthur has called on the Electoral Commission to find ingenious ways of educating the public in order for them to take part in the ongoing limited Voters Registration exercise.
His admonition follows reports of low turnout at the various registration centres across the country.
The situation was no different at Takoradi in the Western Region where the Vice President Amissah Arthur made stopovers at some registration centers in the region Thursday morning.
Mr Amissah-Arthur had been in the Western region for a working tour of the Ghana National gas Company in Atuabo.
The Vice President who began his tour around 7:00 am Thursday visited the Mempeasem, Ekuase Park, Methodist Secondary School and the Nkotopo AME Zion centers.
"In each of the places we have been the electoral commission staff have been there early in the morning, waiting for people to come.
"The parties seem to be participating in it and the party representatives were there," the vice president observed.
The vice president urged all who have attained the voting age of 18 years and those not yet on the voter's register to try and register within this limited registration exercise in order to strengthen the country's democracy.
Qualified persons are expected to take along to the registration centres an approved Identity Card-National ID, passport, an old voters register- in order to register.
If qualified persons do not any of the IDs they are to go along with two persons who have any of these IDs to vouch for them as qualified voters.
The registration exercise will end on August 13, 2014.
