General News of Saturday, 27 August 2016Source: Myjoyonline.comEC warned against ending Continuous Voters' Registration exerciseFile photoThe Vice Chairman of the Subsidiary Legislation Committee of Parliament has cautioned the Electoral Commission (EC) against plans to end the Continuous Voter Registration Exercise on Saturday, August 27. The exercise, which is aimed at providing eligible voters, the opportunity to either register anew, or get their details verified kick-started on August 19 of this month and is ending today. But Mr Osei Ameyaw has warned the EC against ending the exercise saying the EC would be committing an illegality if it goes ahead with such. We should check the regulations because once the parties have consented to the Continuous Voter Registration it cannot stop until two months to elections," he said. "So I don't see why the EC can deprive citizens from entering the register when it is not two months to the lection," he maintained.
