Limited voter registration: EC flags about 24,000 multiple registrants

The Electoral Commission (EC) has discovered over 24,000 cases of multiple registration of voters in the recently held limited voter registration exercise.

This follows the EC’s review of the entire process, a month after the registration exercise ended.

The limited registration exercise was conducted to offer Ghanaians who have attained 18 years since the last registration exercise, as well as those who have never registered before to do so.

Confirming the latest development on Eyewitness News, the Director of Electoral Services at the EC, Dr Serebour Quaque said the discovery was made by a team from the EC, political parties and civil society groups.

“In the course of the registration, we were complaining of some people engaging in the multiple registration. So as at now, we are dealing with a team made up of officials at the EC, representatives of the political parties and some civil society organizations. And as at now, we have almost got to close to 24,000  people who have engaged in double registration. Some of them registered in 2012, 2016 and 2019. It means whenever we open for registration, they register.”
