Voters cannot make request for corrections after re-exhibition exercise ends on October 19 – EC

The Electoral Commission (EC) has announced that voters will not be able to request for correction in their details after the ongoing re-exhibition exercise ends on October 19.

The EC is currently re-exhibiting the revised provisional voters’ register for voters to check their details and ratify errors before a final voters’ register is made.

Voters can check their details via the short code *711*51# or visit the EC’s website to verify their details.

“Once the Re-Exhibition Exercise ends on Saturday, 19^th October, voters will still be able to check their details online but cannot request for correction of their details,” the Commission stated.

The EC also urged the public to report any identified discrepancy in their details to the district offices of the Commission for correction.

At an IPAC meeting held on Tuesday, October 15 by the EC together with political parties and Civil Society Organisations, the Commission made soft copies of the revised voters’ register available to all parties and the Independent Candidates.

This is to allow the parties and candidates to identify any discrepancy in the revised voters’ register and report to the Commission.

The IPAC meeting was to discuss the re-exhibition of the Provisional Voters Register (PVR), which is taking place from Tuesday, October 15 to Saturday, October 19, 2024.

The revised voters’ register which is being exhibited is an improvement of what was initially exhibited in August this year.

“This shows that the Commission is transparent and a listening Commission. The Commission thanks the NDC for raising issues with the PVR, and this also shows that the Commission is committed to transparency”, the EC said.
