By Commencement of First-Time Voter Registration Delayed at Former EC Headquarters in North Ridge, Korley Klottey Constituency, Due to Technical Glitch.
The center serves Korle Klottey and other constituencies as part of the ongoing limited voter registration exercise.
Potential voters are urging the EC to address all impediments preventing the start of registration.
As of 11:30 am on Monday, no prospective voter had been registered due to reported concerns about malfunctioning machines and network connectivity problems.
The 21-day exercise aims to register over half a million voters nationwide.
Commencing today, May 7, the exercise will conclude on May 28, 2024.
Expressing her frustration in an interview, a 21-year-old nursing mother, who arrived at the center at 8 am, voiced her dismay with the process and appealed to the EC to promptly address the challenges.
“I came here like 8 am and the machine too is not working and they said they were bringing a new machine to do it for us and what they are doing here is not good and I feel so bad. We want them to come and do the registration for us.”
Efforts to obtain comments from officials of the Electoral Commission regarding the delay proved futile.
