The 2023 limited voter registration exercise by the Electoral Commission (EC) across its district offices ended at 5:00 p.m. on Monday, October 2, 2023, without an extension date.
In a statement
issued by the EC, Acting Head of Public Affairs Michael Boadi assured that
arrangements have been made to ensure that eligible citizens who are in the
queue on or before 5:00 p.m. on Monday are registered on Tuesday, October 3,
2023.
“The Electoral
Commission wishes to inform the General Public that the 2023 Voters
Registration Exercise ends at 5:00 pm today, Monday, the 2nd of October, 2023,”
the statement said.
“The public is
informed that the Commission will not extend the Voters Registration Exercise.
The Commission, however, assures the General Public that arrangements have been
made to ensure that eligible citizens who are in the queue on or before 5:00 pm
today, are registered tomorrow, Tuesday, the 3rd of October, 2023. This
arrangement will be extended only to eligible applicants in the queue at 5:00
pm today, Monday, the 2nd of October, 2023.”
The EC expressed
appreciation to the public for “the cooperation and support during the 21-day
Voters Registration Exercise”.
In an interview
on Eyewitness News on Citi FM, the Deputy Chair of the EC in
charge of Corporate Services, Dr. Bossman Asare, indicated that they had
registered almost 800, 000 people, which he described as an impressive result.
“It has been
very impressive, from our standpoint it has been very successful. We have
registered almost 800,000 or so people and we are on track to register almost
900,000 people. So looking at it from the angle that registration was done at
our district offices nationwide. And considering that people came from
different places within the district to come and register at one location to
get such a number can only be very impressive”.
Replacement of
cards has begun on Tuesday, October 3, 2023, at any of the EC’s district
offices.
