The Electoral Commission (EC) has announced the online re-exhibition of the 2024 Provisional Voter Register (PVR), scheduled to take place from Tuesday, October 15 to Sunday, October 19, 2024.
This move follows the EC’s commitment to re-exhibit the revised register during a Special Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting held on October 1.
The re-exhibition aims to provide registered voters with an opportunity to verify their details and report any discrepancies, in response to concerns raised by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) regarding the accuracy of the register. By ensuring that all registered voters have accurate information, the EC hopes to facilitate a smoother voting process ahead of the 2024 General Elections.
In a statement issued on Monday, October 14, the EC stated: “The Electoral Commission wishes to announce for the information of the General Public, Registered Voters and all Stakeholders, that Re-Exhibition of the Provisional Voters Register (PVR) will commence on Tuesday, 15th October and end on Saturday, 19th October, 2024.”
Starting Tuesday, voters can check their details using the shortcode 71151# free of charge or by visiting the EC’s website (https://ec.gov.gh). Voters using the website are instructed to click on the pop-up link at the bottom-right corner of the screen and enter their 10-digit Voter ID number to access their registration details.
The EC also urged the public to report any discrepancies to its District Offices for correction during the re-exhibition period. “The Public should note that any discrepancies identified must be reported to the District Office of the Commission where they are registered voters for correction.
Once the Re-Exhibition Exercise ends on Saturday, 19th October, voters will still be able to check their details Online but CANNOT request for correction of their details,” the statement added.
In addition, political parties are encouraged to use the official Template provided by the EC to report any inconsistencies identified during the re-exhibition process.
By taking these steps, the EC is working to address concerns and ensure that the voter register is accurate and up to date ahead of the 2024 elections.
