The Electoral Commission will begin its limited voter registration exercise on Monday.
The exercise, which will take place across 6,000 centers, will allow persons who could not vote during the last registration exercise and those who turned 18 years after 2012 to register.
The limited voter registration exercise was scheduled to begin on June 20 but was postponed due to a lawsuit by PNC National Youth Organiser Abu Ramadan, and a lawyer, Kwasi Danso-Acheampong.
The two sued the EC over plans to accept the NHIS card as an acceptable identification card for registration.
The Supreme Court on July 30, 2014 upheld the application challenging the constitutionality of Regulation 1(3)D of C.I 72, which allows the Electoral Commission to use health insurance cards for the voters’ registration exercise.
The EC has since announced that, in compliance with the Supreme Court ruling, it will not accept national health insurance cards as a form of identification for the process.
