The Electoral Commission (EC) has told victims of the flood disaster in parts of the Volta Region, a disaster caused by the Akosombo Dam spillage, who have lost their voter identity cards in the process to go to the district offices of the commission for replacement.
Addressing a press conference in Accra on Wednesday, November 1, a Deputy Chair of the EC, Samuel Tettey, said while answering questions regarding the flood victims that they should “go to the district office to replace your lost ID.”
The EC has said that it will exhibit the provisional voter register from November 3 to November 7 at all 38,622 polling stations across the country.
This formed part of preparations ahead of the district-level elections to be held on December 19.
According to the EC, the exercise is to allow prospective voters to verify details, that is name, age, and sex.
Mr Tettey said “As part of the commission’s preparation towards the conduct of the district level elections slated for 19 December 2023, the Commission will display or exhibit the provisional voters register at all the 38,622 polling stations across the country.
“The Commission will therefore exhibit the provisional voters register simultaneously at all polling stations which will serve as exhibition centres throughout the country from Friday 3rd November to Tuesday 7th November 2023.”
“The exhibition exercise will start at 7a.m. and end at 6 p.m. throughout the exercise. The purpose of the exhibition exercise is to allow prospective voters to verify details.
“That is name, age, sex, etc as captured during the registration exercise, and make requests for amendments or insertions where necessary. It will also help voters to know their polling stations on the day of voting,” he stated.
