Electoral Commission (EC) has announced its initiative to replace voter ID cards from Thursday, May 30, to Friday, June 14.
This period will also facilitate the transfer of votes and applications for proxy voting. These services will be available at EC district offices, selected electoral areas, and public universities.
It’s crucial to highlight that it is a criminal offence for a guarantor to vouch for more than 10 people, non-Ghanaians, or individuals under 18 years of age.
In preparation for the December 2024 polls, the EC had previously disclosed plans to update the voter register, scheduled from May 7 to May 27, 2024.
The objective is to incorporate newly eligible voters, specifically those who have recently turned 18, into the voter register.
Furthermore, individuals over 18 years old who have not yet registered for a voter’s ID card will have the opportunity to do so during this period.
