The Electoral Commission (EC) has announced plans for a supplementary voter registration period scheduled from August 1 to August 3, 2024.

This initiative aims to accommodate individuals who turned 18 after the initial registration period and those who missed the earlier registration opportunity.

In a statement, EC Chairperson Jean Mensa emphasized the importance of inclusivity in the electoral process, noting that the upcoming mop-up exercise will enable eligible citizens to be added to the voter register.

Additionally, the EC will conduct a voter exhibition exercise from August 20 to August 27, 2024, providing registered voters with the opportunity to verify their details and ensure accuracy in the electoral roll.

The announcement was made during a briefing by the Election Security Taskforce, led by Inspector General of Police Dr. George Akuffu Dampare, where the EC reaffirmed its commitment to conducting free, fair, and transparent elections.
