The ongoing Provisional Voters Register exhibition, which began on Tuesday, August 20, 2024, is expected to end on Tuesday, August 27.
The mandated exercise is taking place in all polling stations (exhibition centres) in all 268 district offices nationwide from 7 am to 6 pm daily.
The purpose of the exhibition is to allow voters to review registration details, check their polling stations, make changes to their details, or make corrections.
Registered voters can verify their details, that is, name, age, sex, polling station, and photograph as captured during the registration exercise and make changes or insertions where necessary to their details in the voter register.
The exhibition exercise also provides an avenue for qualified citizens to object to the names of minors, foreigners, and the deceased on the voters’ register.
Additionally, qualified applicants can object to the names of persons who are not residents in the electoral areas where they registered and those who are not of sound mind.
Any person who was not qualified to register as a voter can also go to the exhibition centre to have his/her name removed from the Voters Register.
It is a crime to have your name on the register if you are not qualified.
In the case of the deceased, voters are required to produce the voter ID of the deceased as well as proof of death, such as the death certificate or burial permit.
The Special Voters Register will also be displayed at all the district offices of the Electoral Commission (EC).
All those who applied to be included in the Special Voters Register must go to the district office of the EC in their constituencies to ensure their names are in the Special Voters Register.
Registered voters can also verify their details electronically via Short Code 71151# on all networks, at a fee of 50 Pesewas. This option will be available during the exhibition and beyond.
