The Electoral Commission has said it has registered a total of 16,663,669 (provisional figures) eligible Ghanaians in the just mass registration exercise.

Providing clarity on the numbers at a press briefing on Friday, August 7, 2020, in Accra, Deputy Commissioner In-Charge of Corporate Services, Dr. Bossman Asare said The EC would have registered 20 million people had they[EC]maintained the old register and conducted the Limited Registration Exercise as compared to the current figure of 16.63 million, some 3 million difference.

“As of 6th August 2020 the Commission had registered a total of 16,663,669 (provisional figures) nationwide. Since the last briefing, the four top regions have maintained their positions through the Greater Accra region has especially lost some grounds in percentage terms from 21.34 % to 20.8% of the total registered. The Ashanti region also reduced marginally by 0.1% to its current 17.9%,” Dr. Asare explained.

UPPER EAST           644,605             3.9
UPPER WEST           459,709             2.8
TOTAL REGISTERED     16,663,699 

Dr. Asare also opined that the numbers the Commission has been able to register is a testament to our mandate as an Election Management Body (EMB) that seeks to undertake processes that ensure we deliver elections that are free, fair, and meets International standards.

According to him, a clean Voters Register is the basic foundation for ensuring that clean, credible, and transparent elections are delivered to the people of Ghana.

The compilation of new voters register by the EC commenced on June 30, 2020, through to August 6.

The EC projected to capture the biometric data of about 17 million Ghanaians eligible to vote ahead of the 2020 December 7 general elections.

However, the EC says it will organize a two-day mop-up exercise for eligible applicants to register for their voter identity cards.

The exercise is scheduled to take place on Saturday, August 8, and Sunday, August 9, respectively.

This follows the completion of the nationwide voter registration exercise Thursday, August 6, 2020 as earlier indicated by the EC.
