The Electoral Commission has rescheduled the date for the limited voter registration. It was scheduled<\/span> to take place between June 20 and 29 this year.<\/p>\n

The exercise is intended to register persons who will be 18 years by<\/span> June this year as part of the Commission’s preparation towards the district level elections.<\/p>\n

Acting Head of Public Affairs at the Commission, Christian Owusu Parry says the new date will not be announced ”as soon as possible”.<\/p>\n

According to him [Christian Owusu Parry] the Chairman of the EC announced the postponement after consultations with the Ghana Education Service, because the EC relies extensively on teachers for such exercises.<\/p>\n

He explained that the EC was informed by the GES that the teachers would be engaged during the Basic Education Certificate Examinations, which will coincide with the registration exercise.<\/p>\n

”According to them [GES] they are writing BECE around this and because we are going to take the teachers out of the classroom for about ten days, they couldn’t allow the teachers to participate;<\/span>we had to consult on that matter…,” he said.<\/p>\n

He noted that the commission however, decided that because teachers are \u201cvery reliable operatives…, it will be necessary for us to re-consider the date that we have a schedule for the registration to begin; we will announce a date as soon as possible.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile the Political Parties forming the Inter Party Advisory Committee agreed to the postponement of the exercise.<\/p>\n
