The Electoral Commission of Ghana (EC) has announced an extension of the deadline for the ongoing limited voters' registration exercise.

In a statement shared on social media, the commission stated that the registration has been extended by two days and will now end on Wednesday, May 29, 2024.

The limited voters' registration exercise, which started on May 7, 2024, was originally scheduled to end on May 27, 2024.

The commission explained in its statement that the extension was to make up for the technical challenges experienced during the first two days of the exercise.

"The Electoral Commission is pleased to inform the public that the ongoing Voters' Registration Exercise has been extended for two additional days.

"The exercise will now end on Wednesday, the 29th of May 2024. This arrangement has been put in place to make up for the network challenges experienced during the first two days of the Registration Exercise," parts of the statement read.

It added, "The Commission aims to ensure that all eligible voters who wish to register are afforded the opportunity to do so. We urge all eligible citizens who are yet to register to visit the Commission's office in the district where they reside to register to vote."

The announcement by the EC comes after calls by various stakeholders, including some political parties, for the registration to be extended.
