Extend limited registration exercise – Prof. Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang tells EC

The running mate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, has called on the Electoral Commission to consider extending the deadline for the limited voter registration exercise.

According to her, the exercise has faced some disruption and challenges from the onset.

During her visit to some of the centres, she said, “Definitely, if there were places as I hear, where not even a single person was registered or where very few people were registered because of challenges with the machines, then definitely the EC must make up for that time.”

“If it is an extra day, it should be restored. Whatever it is, if it is a couple of hours, it should be extended to the following day just so that everybody registers. I think the job is to ensure that we facilitate the process so as not to frustrate people,”she noted.

This according to her will ensure the EC makes time to fill in the lost hours or days of inactivity.
