Some elderly voters and Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) in the Hohoe Constituency have praised the Electoral Commission (EC) for prioritising their needs during the voting process.

A 67-year-old PWD, Peter Dornyame, shared his experience with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) after casting his vote. He expressed satisfaction with the support he received at the St. Francis Demonstration Primary B Centre.

Mr. Dornyame noted that despite misplacing his voter ID card, the EC officials assisted him through the process and ensured he was treated with care and respect.

Mr. Agozi Jacob, a 65-year-old security officer, was the first to vote at the High Court polling station. He praised the arrangements at the centre, describing the process as smooth, and encouraged everyone to vote peacefully.

The Biometric Voter Verification Devices (BVDs) at all polling centres visited were functioning effectively. Centres such as High Court Premises A, B, and C, New Magistrate Court A and B, and A.M.E. Zion, had working BVDs and all essential election materials, including indelible ink.

Other polling stations visited included Volta Cinema Palace, St. Demonstration Junior High School A and B, and St. Francis Demonstration Primary A, B, and C.

At St. Francis Demonstration Primary 2 Centre, Presiding Officer Madam Sika Norgbe told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) that 50 out of 649 registered voters had cast their ballots by 8:51 a.m. At the St. Francis Demonstration Primary B Centre, 73 out of 408 expected voters had voted by 9:10 a.m.

Voters interviewed expressed satisfaction with the voting process. Security personnel and party agents were present at all the polling stations visited. However, voters had to endure the midday sun due to a lack of shade at most centres.

The Hohoe Constituency has 70,644 registered voters and 147 polling stations.
