Low publicity blamed for poor response to exhibition of voters’ register

A total of 676 registered voters have so far called at seven polling stations at Kwamekrom in the Volta Region to ascertain their personal information on the biometric voters register.

There are 20 polling stations in the town where a total of 3,112 eligible voters were registered during the biometric registration exercise.

At the Divine Church and Adakordzi New Town, the name and photograph of a voter appeared twice.

Mr Wisdom Suka, Exhibition Officer at Adakordzi New Town said Ms Abotsi Happy, with voter’s identity card number 205300500, was printed twice in the register.

He explained that it was because the photo machine recorded the picture of that voter during the closing minutes of that day and reproduced it the following morning when the computer system began the day’s work.

Mr. Sukla said, he however completed the necessary forms to be submitted to the Electoral Commission at the end of the exercise.

The Exhibition Officers at the registration centres the GNA visited so far said the low turnout was due to poor publicity and the fact that the exercise coincided with the farming season in the area when many people preferred to go to their farms before coming to the exhibition centres.

Some of the Exhibition Officers said there were errors in the identification of sexes.
