The Electoral Commission (EC) has officially launched the eight-day 2024 Voters Exhibition Exercise today, August 20, and will conclude on August 27, 2024.
Dr Bossman Asare, Deputy Chairman of the EC in charge of Corporate Services, stated that the initiative is intended to assist voters in locating their respective polling stations.
In this way, on December 7, it will be easier for people to get to their polling stations and vote, making the procedure less stressful.

Speaking at a press briefing on August 19, the EC stated that registered voters can request the inclusion of omitted names, raise objections to voter names in the register, request the removal of deceased voter names from the register, demand replacement of poor quality or damaged voter ID cards from the register, correct incorrect spelling of names, and request amendment to other registration details, among others.
“The commission is again entreating all registered voters especially those who registered in the 2024 limited registration exercise at the district offices of the commission and selected electoral areas as well as during the mop-up exercise, to visit the exhibition centres to ascertain whether they were assigned to the correct polling stations or not,” he said.
Dr Asare stated that this was critical to ensuring that elections ran smoothly.
