The mass voter registration by the Electoral Commission (EC) has entered its sixth and final phase beginning Saturday, August 1, 2020.
The entire registration exercise will end on Thursday, August 6, 2020.
A statement issued by the Electoral Commission urged all eligible voters to take advantage of the final phase and register in order to vote on December 7, 2020.
The Commission said it had noted with satisfaction the high patronage of the exercise as of now and therefore appealed to all prospective applicants to respond to the final call and register at Registration Centres near them.
“The Commission assures members of the public that it will enforce all the safety protocols at all Registration Centres throughout the country,” it added.
It, however, cautioned Members of Political Parties to desist from bussing non-residents to specific registration centres.
Additionally, Guarantors are reminded that it is an offense to charge fees in exchange for vouching for Applicants.
It expressed appreciation to the public for their continued support and interest in the work of the Commission.
Over 12 million registered
More than 12 million voters have so far been registered in the ongoing mass voter registration exercise which has entered the penultimate phase.
As of Sunday, July 26, the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC), Mrs Jean Mensa, said 12,371,651 persons had been registered across the country; a figure she said gave inspiration that the Commission would meet its 15 million target.
