The Electoral Commission will from the 30th of May to the 14th of June begin the process of replacing voter ID Cards. During this same timeframe, the transfer of votes and applications for proxy voting will also be accepted.
The activities will take place in EC district offices, selected electoral areas, and public universities. It’s important to note that it is a criminal offence for a guarantor to vouch for more than 10 people, non-Ghanaians, and individuals who are under 18 years of age. In preparation for the December 2024 polls, the EC had announced plans to update the voter register. This update is set to start on Tuesday and end on the 27th of May 2024.
The goal is to ensure that newly eligible voters, specifically those who have recently turned 18, get their names in the voter register. Moreover, those who are over 18 years but have not yet registered for a voter’s ID card will be given the chance to do so during the period.
