The ten-day exercise to review the voters' register ended on Sunday with long queues at most centres in Accra.
The Ghana News Agency (GNA) witnessed long queues at most of the centres, while officials complained of shortage of registration forms.
The exercise intended to cover persons who could not register during the last exercise, those who have turned 18 years and those who have changed residence and intend to change their polling centres started on Friday, March 22.
Most of the areas visited including Awudome Kingsway centre, St. Theresa Prep. School at North Kaneshie, Blema Gor at Abeka Market, Blessed Home Prep School at Akweteman, Achimota Prep. School had run short of the registration forms about two hours before the exercise closed.
While Garrison Education JSS at Burma camp, and Airport Police C and D Primary School centres were virtually, Mrs Lankai Tetteh, Registration Official at Kotobabi 3A and B Girls J.S.S. told the GNA that many of the potential voters who could not be registered due to shortage of forms hurled insults at the officials and even attempt to manhandle them.
She said the centre, which covers 21 polling stations registered 150 voters by 1515 hours on Sunday, while a total of 680 were registered during the period.
Mr Godson Adika Registration Official at Blema Gor electoral area said the main problem encountered apart from the shortage of forms was attempts by minors and foreigners to register.
He said a few individuals who had lost their Voter ID cards also attempted to re-register but were turned away.
Most centres registered between 600 and 1000 voters by the close of registration.
Other registration officials called for extension of the exercise to give opportunity due to the shortages.
Meanwhile, the Assemblyman for Blema Gor Electoral Area at Abeka, Mr Francis Yartey Boye has suggested the extension of the review of the voters' register in the district capitals for 10 days to capture more potential voters.
He said, "The current exercise was flawed with numerous handicaps on the part of the officials that the potential voter should not suffer for, hence the need for an extension."
Mr Boye told the GNA that the fact that people had to travel long distances to register and the problem of where to locate the right centres were disincentives for registration and only allowed a few, who could afford to travel to these centres.
He, however, cautioned that the district registration officials should be circumspect to avoid double registration by those who had lost their voter ID cards.
