Some traditional leaders in the five regions of the North have asked the Electotal Commission (EC) to extend the days for the limited voter registration exercise.
Addressing a press conference in the Savannah Region, the spokesperson for the chiefs, Tandawura Alhaji Mohammed Amin, urged the EC to extend the deadline to ensure that all eligible persons are registered to vote.
The registration exercise started on May 7 and is expected to end on Monday, May 27, 2024.
But the chiefs have added river voce to the call on the EC to extend the deadline to allow all eligible persons to register.
“It was our expectation that the EC would appraise the personnel and equipment needs of each registration centre and deploy staff and equipment commensurate to the expected turnout at each centre.
“We recommend, as a long-term measure, the implementation of electoral reforms that will include the adoption of a continuous voter registration exercise. This will ensure that eligible Ghanaians who turn 18 can walk into designated EC offices to get registered with ease.”
