Limited voter registration: Bia East registers over 1,200 persons in 7 days

A total of 1,228 individuals, comprising 612 males and 616 females, have been registered at the Bia East District Office of the Electoral Commission within the first seven days of the ongoing limited voter registration exercise.

Madam Margaret Asiedu, the Bia East District Electoral Officer, informed the Ghana News Agency that 212 persons registered using the Ghana card, while 1,014 used the guarantor system, and two individuals registered with passports.

She noted network challenges on the first day, which later improved, as the only setback.

She thanked the major stakeholders for the smooth exercise so far and encouraged them to continue their efforts in the remaining days to ensure a successful exercise.

Sylvester Goode, a New Patriotic Party Communication team member and the party's agent at the Electoral Commission Office, along with Osei Simon Sunday, National Democratic Congress constituency IT and Elections Officer, both expressed satisfaction with the process in an interview with the Ghana News Agency.
