Registration of first-time voters has yet to commence at the former head office of the Electoral Commission (EC) at North Ridge in the Korley Klottey constituency due to technical difficulties.

This centre caters to Korle Klottey and other constituencies as part of the ongoing limited voter registration exercise.

Prospective voters are urging the EC to swiftly resolve all issues hindering the start of registration.

As of 11:30 am on Monday, no prospective voters had been registered due to concerns about faulty machines and network issues.

The 21-day exercise, which aims to register over half a million voters nationwide, began on May 7 and will conclude on May 28, 2024.

Speaking to Citi News, a 21-year-old nursing mother who arrived at the centre at 8 am expressed frustration with the process and appealed to the EC to promptly address the challenges.

“I came here like 8 a.m., and the machine too is not working and they said they were bringing a new machine to do it for us and what they are doing here is not good and I feel so bad. We want them to come and do the registration for us.”

Efforts to obtain comments from officials of the Electoral Commission regarding the delay were unsuccessful.
