EC announces Voter Registration Mop-Up from August 1-3

The Electoral Commission is to begin mopping up voter registration from August 1 to August 3, 2024.

Speaking to journalists in Accra, the Deputy Chairperson in- Charge of Operations, Samuel Tettey, said the mop-up exercise is to offer persons who turned 18 years old after the recent limited voter registration and those who could not register previously the opportunity to have their names captured in the poll book.

The Commission will also embark on a voter exhibition exercise in August 2024.

Mr. Tettey emphasised the inclusivity of the exercise, noting that registration will be conducted online across 268 District Offices, 26 Public Universities, and 41 Prison Centers nationwide from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM each day.

He reiterated the requirements for registration, including presenting a Ghana Card or passport, or having two guarantors who are already registered voters. He also highlighted the Commission’s next major activity: the exhibition of the Voters Register from August 20 to August 27.

“All registered voters are encouraged to visit their polling stations or use the short code to electronically check their names in the register,” Mr. Tettey added.
