J.D Mahama urges all to partake in Voters Verification exercise

Former President and Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress, John Dramani Mahama has made a call to all registered voters to verify their names in the upcoming voters verification exercise set to be undertaken by the Electoral Commission from tomorrow, Friday. 

He made this call while addressing a rally of chiefs and people of Amanting in the Bono East Region. He encouraged the people not take the exercise for granted.

“Let’s repeat the zeal with which we went out in our numbers to register. The registration process is about documentation and there can be mistakes. It is possible that your name may be missing in the register.

“I’m pleading with all the chiefs to rally their people to go out and check if their names are in the register. This will ensure that if by any accident your name is missing, it can be corrected,” he told a gathering of chiefs and people of Amanting in the Bono East Region as quoted by TheGhanaReport.

The process would include correction of details, replacement of unclear photographs, verification of polling station details and a chance to object to the inclusion of unqualified names in the register on grounds such as the registration of minors and non- Ghanaians.
