The Electoral Commission (EC) has responded to concerns circulating on social media regarding an error on a registration slip.

The slip in question showed conflicting information, indicating that the individual registered in Kasoa, Central Region, but their district was listed as Ayawaso North, which is in the Greater Accra Region.

In light of the viral photo, the EC released a statement on Wednesday, May 8, clarifying that the discrepancy on the registration slip does not reflect on the actual Voter Identification card of the concerned applicant.

The commission emphasized, "The error is confined to the Registration Slip, which is used merely as a reference for instances where an Applicant might need to replace his/her Voter ID Card. Importantly, this error has no bearing on the voter's eligibility to vote."

Meanwhile, due to widespread network challenges on the second day of the ongoing voter registration exercise, the EC has instructed its officers to switch to offline mode.

"The Commission wishes to inform all its stakeholders and the General Public that some challenges were experienced with the network this afternoon, affecting the Online mode of registration. The Commission has directed its District Officers to switch to the Offline mode of registration beginning tomorrow, the 9th of May, 2024.

"The Commission apologizes for the delays experienced this afternoon," the statement concluded.

Furthermore, the commission assured that if the challenge affects the 21-day exercise, it will ensure an extension to the May 27 deadline.
