The Limited Voters Registration Excersie is set to begin today, September 12, 2023.
According to the EC, the exercise will go on despite the injunction application filed by the NDC and four other political parties.
This was contained in a statement issued by the EC on Monday, September 11.
Five political parties – NDC, the Convention People’s Party (CPP), the All People’s Congress, the Liberal Party of Ghana and the Great Consolidated Popular Party – filed the suit on September 7, challenging the EC’s decision to restrict the upcoming voter registration exercise to its district offices.
The political parties argue that the decision will disenfranchise many eligible voters, especially those who live in remote areas.
But the EC says the exercise will go on despite the injunction application.
The registration will take place in all its 268 District Offices.
“The Electoral Commission wishes to inform the General Public that the 2023 Voters Registration Exercise begins on Tuesday, 12th September 2023 and ends on Monday, 2nd October 2023.
“Persons who have attained the age of 18 years since the last registration exercise and those who for one reason or the other did not register in 2020, should visit the District Office where they reside with either their Ghana Card or their Ghana Passport. Eligible applicants who do not possess any of the identification documents listed above are required to present two (2) persons who are already registered voters to guarantee their registration”.
