Livestream: EC, NIA bosses engage Parliament over voter registration law

Parliament is expected to engage the Electoral Commission (EC), Finance Minister and the National Identification Authority (NIA).

Jean Mensa and Ken Atafuah for the EC and NIA, respectively, are to answer to the House over the voter registration law.

Mr Ofori-Atta is also expected to brief the House on the same matter.

Parliament last Thursday held a heated pre-laying debate on the report of the Special Budget Committee on the Draft Public Elections (Registration of Voters) Regulations, 2022 and other related matters. 

In the new Constitutional Instrument (CI) the Electoral Commission (CI) has expressed the intention of using the Ghana Card or ECOWAS Card, as the only form of identification or medium to qualify a citizen of Ghana who is legible to vote to registered or enrolled onto the voters’ register.
