Following their alleged failure to fulfill their duties professionally during the Limited Voter Registration Exercise, three members of the Ghana Police Service have been interdicted.

Inspector Michael Addo, G/CONST. Eric Boakye, and G/CONST. Michael Gyan faced interdiction on May 11, 2024, due to their purported mishandling of security responsibilities at the Electoral Commission Office in Adugyama, Ashanti Region.
