EC suspends limited voters registration exercise

The Electoral Commission (EC) has suspended the limited voter registration exercise which was scheduled to begin from Friday, June 7, 2019 to Thursday, June 27, 2019 in all its district offices and selected electoral areas across the country.

The exercise was to offer the opportunity to Ghanaians who have attained 18 years since the last registration exercise, as well as those who, for one reason or another, have never registered to do so.

A statement by the EC stated that it suspended the exercise pending an injunction seeking to restrain the Commission from holding the Limited Voters Registration Exercise.



The exercise was to form part of the EC’s preparations towards the conduct of the 2019 district level elections and the referendum on the election of metropolitan, municipal and district chief executives (MMDCEs) scheduled for Tuesday, December 10, 2019.

Below is the full statement by Electoral Commission
