Electoral Commission (EC) logo
The voter registration mobilization in Ghana has been a topic of concern, with various issues arising during the limited voter registration exercise. We are urging the good people of Nzemaland who have attained 18 and are eligible to vote to participate in the registration exercise.
The Electoral Commission (EC) has initiated a limited voter registration exercise to register about 1.35 million Ghanaians who have turned 18, aiming to encourage all qualified persons to participate in the registration process.
However, challenges such as network issues, non-functional registration equipment, lack of adequate education, and long queues at registration centers should be duly dealt with to prevent the unforeseen.
Additionally, incidents of violence and attacks on registrants have marred the process in the past, highlighting the need for improved security measures and efficient planning by the EC.
We plead for sustained efforts to promote a peaceful, transparent, and credible voter registration process, which are crucial for enhancing democratic practices in Ghana. Stakeholders, including the EC, political parties, civil society, and the National Identification Authority, need to collaborate effectively to address the challenges faced during voter registration exercises and ensure that all eligible voters are able to register without hindrances.
We pray for continuous engagement and education of prospective voters which are essential to building confidence in the electoral system and promoting a fair and inclusive registration process.
In summary, the mobilization for voter registration in Ghana requires a concerted effort from all stakeholders to address technical challenges, enhance security at registration centers, and provide adequate education to prospective voters. By working together and implementing effective strategies, Ghana can strengthen its electoral processes and ensure that every eligible citizen can participate in the democratic system.
