The country\u2019s Electoral Commission (EC) will begin its registration exercise today[Friday]<\/p>\n

The exercise, which will take place\u00a0 across 6,000 centers, will allow persons who could not register during the last exercise and those\u00a0 who turned 18 years after the last registration exercise.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”qaR1f19UzJmrGVUo8vZaWoLgE92WYGJ7″]The EC says the move is in accordance with Regulation 9 (1) of the Public Elections (Registration of Voters) Regulations 2012, (C.I 72).<\/p>\n

The Commission has advised eligible voters to register at EC offices across the country to carry along to the registration centre documents of proof such as a Ghanaian Passport, a driver\u2019s license, a National Identification Card or an old voter ID Card.<\/p>\n

In 2014, the voter registration exercise which was scheduled to begin on June 20 \u00a0was postponed<\/a><\/strong><\/span> due to\u00a0 a lawsuit filed by PNC National Youth Organiser Abu Ramadan, and a lawyer, Kwasi Danso-Acheampong.<\/p>\n

The two sued the EC over plans to accept the NHIS card as an acceptable identification card for registration.<\/p>\n

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\u2019 registration exercise.<\/div>\n

The EC, in compliance with the Supreme Court’s ruling has therefore announced that it will not accept health insurance cards as a form of identification for the process.<\/p>\n
