The Electoral Commission (EC) has corrected errors in its publication of the daily voter registration figures for the ongoing limited voter registration exercise.

In a press release issued at the end of day four of the exercise, the EC initially reported that 143,014 eligible voters had been registered.

However, less than 24 hours later, the EC released a follow-up statement acknowledging that there was an error in the figures for day three, specifically for the Upper East region, which had been repeated.

“The Electoral Commission has noted some mistakes in the daily voter registration figures earlier published. The mistakes appeared in the total registered figures stated for days two and three although the individual regional figures were accurate, while the day three figure for Upper East was repeated for day four. All these have been corrected.”

The EC, however, added that the errors did not affect its total tabulation and so “at the end of the four days the total number of registered voters remain 143, 014.”

The voter registration exercise, which began on Tuesday, May 7, aims to register first-time voters and individuals seeking to obtain a voter card. Scheduled to last 21 days, the exercise is set to conclude on May 27, 2024.

Here is a breakdown of the registration figures by region:
