The Deputy General Secretary of the largest opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Boamah Otukonor has urged party members without the required documents for the registration exercise to take along their old Voter ID cards to help them get their names in the new register.
 
Peter Boamah Otukonor, in an interview with NEAT FM’s morning show ‘Ghana Montie’, noted that his party has arranged for some persons that will assist the ‘smooth registration’ for both “Ghanaians and non-Ghanaians” without the required documents by the Electoral Commission (EC) to partake in the registration exercise.
 
He called on his party supporters without a “Ghana card or passport” to go to the various registration centres with their 'old voters’ ID card' and register.
 
“Do not be deterred, carry your old voters' ID card at least it shows some form of identity. When you get to the registration centre, there are people there to guarantee for you to register,” he emphatically said. 
 
Voters' registration exercise - Day 1
 
After the back and forth over the need or otherwise of a new electoral roll, the Electoral Commission commenced its month-long nationwide voters’ registration exercise today.
  
The exercise will be held in some 6,788 clusters made up of five registration centres each across the country.

It will be conducted in 5 phases, each phase spanning 6 days with additional days for mop-up.
