The ongoing limited voter registration exercise organised by the Electoral Commission of Ghana has once again encountered hurdles as system challenges resurface in key districts, including Ayawaso West, East, North, Central, and Korley Klottey.

This interruption comes after a brief period of smooth operation on the second day of the registration process.

The recurrence of system issues raises concerns about the efficiency and effectiveness of the registration exercise, which is crucial for enrolling first-time voters ahead of the upcoming elections.

Some registration officers and registrants idling while they await the restoration of internet service.

The Electoral Commission is under renewed scrutiny as stakeholders demand swift action to address these challenges and ensure a seamless registration process for all eligible voters.
