Tamale, Sept. 30, Ghanadot/GNA – Exhibition of
voters’ register will start October 5 at all
polling stations and close October 11, the
Electoral Commission (EC) announced on Monday.
The exhibition will afford registered voters to
make sure that their names are on the register,
and to make claims of correction of errors such
as names, sex and age to avoid disappointment on
voting day.
Mr. Sylvester Kanyi, Northern Regional Director
of the EC, in a release issued in Tamale on
Monday, said the exhibition would be held in all
2,043 polling stations in the Northern region.
He said during the exhibition, the 2006 voters’
register and the 2008 provisional register which
was compiled recently would be on display.
He appealed to all voters who registered in
2004, 2006 and 2008 to go to their respective
polling stations to check and ensure that
particulars on their voters’ identity cards
tallied with information in the register.
The release said challenge forms would be
available at all polling centres for people to
register their objection, or remove names of
minors, deceased, aliens and other unqualified
persons in the register to ensure that it was
cleaned and prepared for the 2008 elections.
The release appealed to Assembly Members, family
heads, unit Committee members and relations of
deceased persons to help ensure that dead
persons’ names were removed from the register.
It said the exercise would not be for fresh
registration and advised persons who did double
registration to get one cancelled to avoid
prosecution and to ensure that the register was
clean, accurate, credible, reliable and
dependable.
