About 30,000 persons who took part in the voters’ registration exercise, have been disqualified from voting in the upcoming December 7 elections
A Deputy EC Commissione, Dr Eric Bossman Asare, who disclosed this said about 14,000 of the 30,000 disqualified voters have been put on the Exceptions List while about 16,000 names have been put on the Multiple List.
Dr Asare made the revelation when he spoke on a current affairs programme on Joy News on Sunday, October 25, 2020.
“They cannot vote because they had engaged in infractions,” Dr Bossman Asare said.

He said the disqualification of these 30,000 people went through a legal process, presided over by a judge, after their eligibility was challenged – a point he made to explain that the removal of the names from the provisional voters' register followed due process.
He said although a few issues popped up, the commission put in place measure to ensure all registered voters participate in the upcoming polls.
“Your details are intact. Your biometric details – fingerprint, facial recognition – all of them are intact. So, the Commission is assuring all the good people of this country. Once you took part in the registration, your details are intact. You are part of the 17 million or so people,” he stressed.
