EC Deletes 30,000 Names From Newly Compiled Voters Register

The Electoral Commission of Ghana has revealed that it has deleted about 30,000 names from the recently compiled voters register.

This was revealed by the Public Relations Officer of the Electoral Commission, Madam Sylvia Annor during an interview with Citi Fm.

“The names of about 30,000 registered voters have been deleted or expunged from the provisional voters’ register because they are either on the exceptions lists or the multiple lists. “The multiple list is made up of names of all those who engaged in double voting during the voter’s registration exercise.”She said.

Explaining further, Madam Annor revealed that the exceptions list is made up of registered voters who were found guilty by the district registration review committees at the various district levels. They were challenged probably because they were under 18 years, non-Ghanaians, or gave wrong locations.

According to the Commission, all these 30,000 persons will not be able to vote in the upcoming elections.
