Limited voter registration: EC clarifies Agona West incident

The EC has called on the public to ignore the report, adding that it is an attempt to tarnish its hard-won reputation

The Electoral Commission (EC) has denied report of violent clashes over the limited voter registration exercise at its district office in Agona West in the Centra Region.

The EC has called on the public to ignore the report, adding that it is an attempt to tarnish its hard-won reputation.

The 21-day exercise, which runs from 8am to 5pm each day, including weekends, is scheduled to end on 2 October.

The EC has set a target of registering at least 1.35 million people of voting age in the 2023 exercise, based on its estimation that roughly this number has attained the age of 18 since the last registration exercise in 2020.
“The attention of the Electoral Commission (EC) has been drawn to a news item in The Daily Graphic and Daily Guide newspapers reporting of a purported violence which occurred at the Agona West District of the Central Region.
“The commission has conducted a thorough investigation into the matter. The investigations revealed that a fight broke out between two gentlemen outside the district office on Sunday (17 September) 2023 well after office hours when staff of the commission had closed for the day,” the EC statement said.
