 <\/p>\n

REVISION OF THE VOTERS REGISTER<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

The Electoral Commission hereby informs the general public that the rescheduled revision of the voters register will take place from Friday 25th<\/sup> July<\/b>, 2014<\/b> to Sunday 3rd August, 2014.<\/b><\/p>\n

The public is reminded that the limited voter registration is opened to Ghanaians who have attained 18 years since the main registration exercise in 2012 and eligible Ghanaians who were above 18 years during the main registration but could not register.<\/p>\n

The registration will take place at a designated registration centre in every electoral area. Prospective applicants are advised to look out for the registration centres in their electoral area from the newspapers. They may also listen to the local announcement in their area for the place designated as registration centre.<\/p>\n

Applicants are reminded that they will be required to show identification documents as proof of eligibility such as National Identification Card, Ghanaian Passport, Drivers Licence, or an old voter ID Card.<\/p>\n

Eligible applicants who do not have any of the identification documents mentioned may find two Ghanaians who are already registered voters to guarantee their registration by completing a voter registration identification guarantee form.<\/p>\n

The registration will start at 7:00am<\/b> and close at 6:00pm<\/b> each day of the registration period, including Saturdays<\/b> and Sundays<\/b>.<\/p>\n

The Commission is appealing to the general public to support it in ensuring that unqualified people and minors do not get unto the voters register by volunteering information on such applicants. The information may be provided by filling a voter registration challenge form against the registration of such individuals. All challenges will be investigated by the District Registration Review Committees in the respective districts.<\/p>\n

All eligible applicants and the general public are to take note of this new arrangement and act accordingly.<\/p>\n

The Commission further announces that it will hold an Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting on Friday 18th<\/sup> July, 2014 to discuss revision of the voters register, the Report on inspection of political party offices, proposals for reforms submitted by political parties and civil society and any other business<\/p>\n
