The Electoral Commission of Ghana (EC) has unveiled plans to carry out a three-day mop-up voter registration exercise starting August 1.
This initiative will take place across the Commission’s district offices and aims to ensure thorough voter registration for the forthcoming December 2024 elections.
In an official letter addressed to the General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), the EC emphasized its commitment to maximizing voter participation through this additional registration opportunity.
“This comes to inform you that the Commission will conduct a mop-up voter registration exercise at all the district offices of the Commission throughout the country.”
“The registration will also be extended to the prison centres. This exercise will take place from Thursday, 1 August to Saturday, 3 August, 2024. The modalities for the exercise will be discussed at an IPAC meeting to be held in due course,” the letter said.
In a concerted effort to enhance voter registration for the forthcoming elections, the Electoral Commission (EC) extended its initial 21-day registration period by an additional three days in May.
This extension took place from May 27 to 29 across the EC’s 268 district offices nationwide. To further support those who missed the initial registration window, the EC has scheduled a “mop-up” voter registration drive for August 1, ensuring wider participation in the electoral process.
