EC to undertake biometric voters' registration mop-up
The Electoral Commission (EC) has fixed weekend of
June 9 and 10, for biometric voters' registration
mop-up exercise in selected registration centres
across the country.

A statement signed by Mr Christian Owusu-Parry,
acting Director of Public Affairs of the EC,
copied to Ghana News Agency in Accra on Thursday,
said the mop-up was to give qualified applicants,
who could not register during the 40 days
registration exercise due to operational
challenges the opportunity to register as voters
in the affected registration centres.

It said the various mop-up registration centres
would be published in the media.

The statement appealed to qualified applicants in
the affected centres who had not yet registered to
take note and avail themselves of the
opportunity.

However, the EC cautioned people, who had already
registered as voters to avoid registering again
since that would amount to double registration.

“All cases of double registrations will be
detected and the culprits will be dealt with in
accordance with law,” the EC stated.
