The Electoral Commission (EC) has expunged 15,000 names from the voters’ register.
The Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC), Jean Mensa, who revealed this, said the names expunged were that of minors and foreigners.
She disclosed this at a press conference dubbed ’Let the Citizen Know’ in Accra on Thursday, August 17.
She stated that the EC established District Registration Review Committees, which worked diligently over several weeks to identify and expunge the names of the minors and the foreigners.
“Our experience from the 2020 registration exercise showed that several minors and foreigners using the window of the guarantor system found their way into our roll. To rid the register of minors and foreigners in 2020, the EC established the District Registration Review Committees which worked for several weeks to delete the names of minors and foreigners from the register.”
“It took substantial time and effort to expunge the names of illegal persons from our roll. During the registration, some 40,000 minors and foreigners were challenged and we managed to expunge some 15,000 minors and foreigners from the register,” she stated.
