Limited Voter Registration Exercise: Don’t Allow Politicians To Influence You To Register, When You’re Below 18 Years: Western Regional EC Boss

The Western North Regional EC boss, Mr. Godwin Oakley Oakley has explained that, in Western North Region, the exercise will take place across its 9 district offices in the region, Tuesday, May 7, 2024, and as at the exercise started, the commission had encountered none problems or challenges.

Mr Godwin Oakley, appealed to parents and guardians not allow politicians to influence their wards who are below eighteen years (18) to register, because, if caught, the law will not permit such children to go escort free.He said, the first-time voters should consider their age, to avoid any trouble and be sure to follow the principles and the guidelines of the electoral commission (EC).

Mr. Godwin Oakley further reiterated that the exercise will take place for three weeks, from May 7 to May 27, 2024, and every eligible Ghanaian with sound minds must go out and register. 

He added that, if you have registered in 2020 and 2023 should stop registering to avoid multiple registration to have a credible voter register. 

The EC has stated that the ongoing limited registration exercise aims to register 623,000 first-time voters across the country. The registration will take place in all 258 district offices of the commission, as well as an additional 785 centers to accommodate those who may find it difficult to access the district offices.
