The Electoral Commission (EC) has announced an extension of the ongoing voter registration exercise by an additional two days, expected to conclude on Wednesday, May 29, 2024.
The commission stated in a press release on Tuesday, May 21, that an extension of the date for the voter’s registration is not feasible, however, this declaration called for several criticisms from the National Opposition Party, National Democratic Congress (NDC) and other groups.
In a statement, the EC has rescinded its decision to extend, attributing the extension to the internet disruption encountered during the first two days of the registration process.
“This arrangement has been put in place to make up for the network challenges experienced during the first two (2) days of the registration exercise.
The Commission aims to ensure that all eligible voters who wish to register are allowed to do so.
“We urge all eligible citizens who are yet to register to visit the Commission’s office in the district where they reside to register to vote.”
