Mistakes in Limited Voter Registration figures amended - EC announces

The Electoral Commission (EC) has rectified identified errors in the registration numbers from the ongoing Limited Voter Registration exercise.

The commission acknowledged mistakes in the day two and three totals in certain regions, adding that the corrected figures are now available for the public, it said.

"The Electoral Commission has corrected errors in the previously released daily voter registration numbers. The inaccuracies were in the cumulative totals for days two and three, though the regional numbers were correct. The Upper East's day three total was mistakenly repeated for day four. These have been amended," the commission stated, as reported by citinewsroom.com.

The EC confirmed that these discrepancies did not impact the overall count, maintaining that "after four days, the total number of registered voters stands at 143,014."

The regional registration breakdown is as follows: Greater Accra, 17,837; North East, 3,948; Upper East, 6,691; Northern, 10,373; Bono, 4,900; Bono East, 5,118; Volta, 7,512; Upper West, 5,256; Eastern, 14,884; Central, 15,434; Ahafo, 3,889; Ashanti, 25,558.

Additional registrations include Western North with 5,638; Oti, 4,206; Savannah, 2,989; and Western Region, 8,781.

The EC said it is on course to meet its registration goal by the exercise's end.

623,000 first-time voters are projected to be added to the voter register at the end of the exercise.

The registration exercise began on Tuesday, May 7, targeting newcomers and those seeking voter cards.

The 21-day campaign is set to end on May 27, 2024.
