The Electoral Commission (EC) has announced August 4 to 13,
2014 as the new dates for the revision of the voters register. A statement
signed by Mr Amadu Sulley, the Deputy Chairman (Operations) of the EC, said
following the determination of the suit before the Supreme Court, applicants
were to note that only a Ghanaian passport, a driver’s licence, a national
identification card or an old voter ID card issued before the coming into force
of CI 72 would be accepted as means of identification.
“The commission wishes to stress that by the court’s ruling,
it will not accept the National Health Insurance card as one of the identification
documents,” it stated. It reminded applicants that those who qualified to be
registered but did not have any of the required “identification documents may
still have their registration guaranteed by two registered voters”. The
statement said the registration would take place at designated centres in every
electoral area and indicated that it would start at 7 a.m. and end at 6 p.m.
each day.
