The Electoral Commission (EC) has announced a mop-up voter registration exercise from August 01 to August 03, 2024.
The Commission says the mop-up exercise is to provide avenue for persons who were not able to register during the limited registration exercise to take their turns, as well as persons who turned 18 after the completion of the registration.
The mop-up registration will follow a voter exhibition from August 20 to August 27.
Jean Mensa, Chairperson of the EC, made the announcement at a debriefing by the Election Security Taskforce led by the Inspector General of Police, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, to the EC.
The debriefing was on the Task Force’s election security performance in the first half of the year.
“I would like to put on record that the mop-up of the voter registration exercise will take place from August 1–3, 2024, and it is to afford persons who turned 18 after May 29 or persons who have not previously registered the opportunity to get onto our register; this goes to persons who are eligible,” she stated.
