The Electoral Commission of Ghana, the power house behind all elections in Ghana is set to begin the limited Voter registration exercise on September 12, 2023 as part of preparation for the forthcoming District Level Elections.
The exercise is to give chance to Ghanaians who are of voting age thus 18 years and above and also to afford those who have their cards missing to replace them, but at a cost. The registration according to the Chairperson of the Commission, Madam Jean Mensah, will take place at all the 268 district offices of the Commission including the Guan district.
