The Electoral Commission (EC) has announced a correction of errors discovered in its publication of daily voter registration figures during the ongoing limited voter registration exercise. Apexnewsgh reports
The EC initially reported that 143,014 eligible voters had been registered by the end of day four, but later acknowledged an error in the data for day three, specifically in the Upper East region.
The EC’s statement indicated that the figure for day three in the Upper East region had been repeated, leading to inaccuracies in the overall registration statistics. The commission has since corrected the mistakes, which appeared in the total registered figures stated for days two and three, although the individual regional figures were accurate.
The voter registration exercise, which commenced on May 7, aims to register first-time voters and individuals seeking to obtain a voter card. Scheduled to last for 21 days, the exercise is set to conclude on May 27, 2024. The EC aims to add approximately 623,000 first-time voters to the voter register, enhancing the inclusivity of the electoral process.
A breakdown of registration figures by region shows that the Greater Accra region has recorded 17,837 registered voters, followed by the North East with 3,948, the Upper East with 6,691, and the Northern region with 10,373. Other regions have also recorded significant numbers of registered voters.
The EC has assured the public of its commitment to achieving its registration target by the end of the exercise, ensuring a comprehensive and accurate voter register. The correction of errors demonstrates the commission’s dedication to transparency and accuracy in the voter registration process.
