The Member of Parliament for Effutu, after visiting some registration centres in his constituency asked the EC to ensure every eligible voter gets his/her name on the electoral roll before the process ends.
“The Electoral Commission must improve on its system of registration. Obviously, if we are all talking about network failures, then I am not sure that they will be able to complete on schedule. The frustrations and the delays must be addressed.
“So I am urging the Electoral Commission to ensure that they have a backup system because as it is, the frustrations are one too many. And I would encourage the Electoral Commission to live up to expectations.”
Meanwhile, President Akufo-Addo has also urged all eligible voters to get registered to enhance Ghana’s democratic process.
