The Electoral Commission (EC) would undertake continuous voter's registration exercise at the District Electoral Offices of the Commission next year, for those who had attained 18 years and those who could not register during this year's biometric voter's registration exercise.
The Kwahu West Municipal Electoral Officer, Mr Eugene Boateng, disclosed this in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA), at Nkawkaw on Wednesday. He said 65,073 people were registered in all the 106 electoral areas in the municipality, representing an increase of six per cent during the just ended 40 -day exercise.
Mr Boateng said there were 37 challenges against some voters, for being aliens, under 18 years and not residing in the electoral areas, and a municipal review committee had been formed to review the challenges.
Mr Boateng said Regional Directors of the EC would soon hold a meeting in Accra to decide on a mopping up registration exercise in certain areas of the country. He said the exercise went on smoothly in all the electoral areas in the municipality, and commended political parties and staff of the EC for their corporation and support for the registration exercise.
