The General Secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Boadu has asked the Electoral Commission (EC) to provide nose masks at the various centres during the new voters' registration exercise.
According to him, it is laudable for the EC to insist that registrants wear nose mask before coming to register; however "you can't take away a person's right to vote because of nose mask".
To avoid this he has suggested that the EC provide Ghanaians with nose mask if they cannot afford it.

EC Guidelines
The EC as part of measures to ensure a smooth running of the new voter registration exercise has outlined safety protocols including the wearing of nose mask.
The rest are:
- People’s temperature will be checked before one is allowed into the registration centre
- Running water available for handwashing
- Queues are to have one-metre gaps between persons lining up to register
- The scanners will be sanitised
- Persons who complete the registration process will also be provided with hand sanitiser before they leave the centre.
