The Electoral Commission (EC) has stated that it has not yet decided on the proposal for an offline exhibition of the Provisional Voters\u2019 Register at polling stations nationwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After last week\u2019s Inter-Party Advisory Committee Meeting in Accra, the EC announced its intention to exhibit the corrected Provisional Voters\u2019 Register online as part of efforts to update the register in preparation for the December 7 elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There has since been calls on the Commission to consider an offline exhibition of the Register to allow for voters in rural communities and those who do not have access to the internet to participate in the exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, speaking at a session to train journalists on the electoral processes in Accra, Benjamin Bano-Bioh, Director of Electoral Services, EC, said the offline registration of voters \u201cwas on the drawing board\u201d and that the management of the Commission had not concluded on the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere has been a call on the Commission to extend the exhibition of the corrected voters\u2019 register to the various registration centres. The Commission would have to take that decision. So, we wait and hear from management,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Explaining the form of the online exhibition, Mr Bano-Bioh said registered voters could check their names, polling stations, and other details on their phones at no cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
