The Electoral Commission (EC) has corrected errors in its publication of daily voter registration figures during the ongoing limited voter registration exercise.
Following a press release on day four stating 143,014 registered voters, the EC issued a subsequent statement acknowledging mistakes in figures for days two and three, as well as a repetition of day three’s Upper East figures on day four.
However, these errors did not impact the total registration count, which remains at 143,014.
The registration exercise, targeting first-time voters and those seeking voter cards, began on May 7 and will conclude on May 27, 2024. The EC aims to register 623,000 new voters by the end of the exercise.
A regional breakdown of registration figures includes Greater Accra with 17,837, North East with 3,948, Upper East with 6,691, Northern with 10,373, Bono with 4,900, Bono East with 5,118, Volta with 7,512, Upper West with 5,256, Eastern with 14,884, Central with 15,434, Ahafo with 3,889, and Ashanti with 25,558 registered voters.
Additional registrations are 5,638 in Western North, 4,206 in Oti, 2,989 in Savannah, and 8,781 in the Western region. The EC remains committed to achieving its registration target within the set timeframe.
