Listen to articleThis current brouhaha about the Ghanaian Voters’ Register is a preventable chaos that should have been avoided, and not allowed to waste our Money and Time. All the EC had to do is conduct a routine Update to the Register whereby dead folks and any confirmed ineligible names in it could be purged, and newly eligible Voters added. Regular Updates of Voters' Register is universally accepted and, in fact, required. The idea of modifying the Register to include only biometric data of Voters could have been taken up and discussed exhaustively and approved by Parliament with a timeline for its accomplishment that is acceptable to all Stakeholders. The NPP's approach sounded more than just a regular Update of the Register, and unnecessarily aroused suspicion on the Party’s ulterior motive for wanting to create a brand new Register.
