The Electoral Commission (EC) has faced accusations from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) of engaging in voter suppression. This allegation stems from the EC's choice to conduct limited voter registration solely at district offices, a decision the NDC deems suboptimal.
As the voter registration enters its sixth day today, on September 18, many individuals have raised concerns about various challenges they have encountered.
The Greater Accra Regional Secretary of the NDC, Theophilus Tetteh Chaie, has expressed dissatisfaction with the EC's handling of the situation, stating that it is exacerbating the issues.
There is growing pressure on the Electoral Commission (EC) to reconsider and adjust its procedures for the ongoing voter registration exercise. Dr. Adomako Kissi, Member of Parliament for Anyaa–Sowutuom, has also criticized the decision to restrict registration to district offices, arguing that it is not the most suitable approach.
In contrast, the National Youth Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Salam Mustapha, has expressed satisfaction with the progress made during the first week of the limited voter registration.
The Electoral Commission commenced the registration process on Tuesday, September 12, with the goal of enrolling first-time voters who have yet to obtain their Voter ID cards.
Despite opposition from the NDC and some civil society organizations, the registration continues to take place at district offices of the electoral commission throughout the country.
