The Electoral Commission (EC), says it will go ahead with compilation of the new voters’ register despite the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus in Ghana.
According to the EC, plans are far advanced for the successful take-off of the registration process ahead of the December 7, 2020, general elections.
A statement issued and signed by Ag. Director, Public Affairs, Mrs Sylvia Annoh, dismissing reports that the registration exercise had been cancelled due to the coronavirus outbreak in the country, said compilation of the new register has not been cancelled.
“In view of the ban imposed on public gatherings by His Excellency President Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo, a new date for the registration will be announced in due course.”
The Commission entreated the public to prepare for the upcoming voters registration exercise.
The EC had slated April 2020 to begin the new voters’ registration exercise.
