The Electoral Commission of Ghana is pleased to announce the commencement of the 2023 Voters Registration Exercise, scheduled to run from Tuesday, 12th September 2023, to Monday, 2nd October 2023, at all 268 District Offices.
This vital process is open to those who have turned 18 since the last registration or didn’t register in 2020.
It requires valid identification documents, such as the Ghana Card or Passport.
Those lacking these documents must be endorsed by two registered voters.
Notably, attempting to register as a non-Ghanaian or a minor below 18 is a criminal offense, with prosecution for both offenders and their guarantors. The Electoral Commission encourages all eligible applicants to participate and vote in the upcoming District Level Elections.
