Voter Exhibition Exercise Begins Today

The Electoral Commission (EC) will begin its nationwide voter exhibition exercise, which starts today, August 20, and will continue until August 27.

Dr. Bossman Asare, the Deputy Chairman of the EC responsible for Corporate Services, stated that the purpose of this exercise is to assist voters in identifying their designated polling stations.

Speaking at a press conference on Monday, August 19, Dr. Asare emphasized that this period allows registered voters to take several important actions. These include requesting the addition of omitted names, contesting the presence of certain names in the voter register, and seeking the removal of deceased persons’ names.

“The Commission again, urged the general public, especially, registered voters to show interest in the voter exhibition exercise to assist the Commission in updating and producing a credible voter register for the 2024 general elections,” Dr. Asare remarked.

He further noted that the exercise offers a platform for citizens to object to the names of minors (those under 18 years old) and non-citizens, as well as those who no longer reside in the electoral areas where they originally registered.

Additionally, the Inspector General of Police, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, assured the public that police officers would be deployed across all voter exhibition centers to maintain order.

“We urge the public to patronise the exercise. Go there if you are very concerned and if there is any security concern, speak to our officers on the ground and we will deal with it humanly in a way that will satisfy everybody,” he said.
