Hon. John Kwame Duodu (SIR JOHN), has praised the Electoral Commission (EC) for the well-run limited voter registration exercise. Sir John, who is also the patron of Ashanti Regional TESCON, stated that in spite of the early difficulties encountered in certain registration centres, the electoral body efficiently oversaw the procedure. This year’s limited voter registration exercise, which began on May 7, 2024, was originally slated to conclude on May 27. However, it was extended by two days and concluded on Wednesday, May 29.

This process was designed to update the voter register in preparation for the forthcoming general elections. Meanwhile, EC has begun the replacement of missing ID cards at a cost of GH₵ 10.
