VOTER REGISTER NOW A TALK OF THE DAY



The voter register of the republic of ghana is now the talk event of the day where political parties are taking their turns to make their intention known to the public and Electoral Commission whether to change or maintain the register that was used during the 2012 elections.

Despite their take on it i have taken my turn to also make my intention known and my take on the register. this is not based on any affiliation to a political regime but rather as a concern citizen. many ghanaians will hit on me with my opinion as it is common in the country.

If i remember vividly during the hearing of the  2012 election petition, Dr. Afari Gyan declared that the reason why the presidential voter register is more than the parliamentary register is due to the fact that there are ghanaian citizens working outside the country for the state and therefore need to vote in the presidential  but rather cannot vote in the parliamentary all because they do not live here.

When he was asked to present the number he came out with about 700 names despite saying there were about 5000 names. His inability to present all the names in the register to me shows that the register has been bloated and therefore needs to be changed.
