The
Upper East Regional Director of the EC, James Arthur Yeboah says the decision
by the commission to use Bolgatanga and Bongo as part of today’s nationwide
pilot registration exercise is highly commendable.
He said considering the
prevailing harsh weather condition, his outfit will be able to tell whether the
upgraded biometric kits meant for the exercise could withstand heat.
He however
noted with the firm believe that, the commission was going to adopt alternative
methods of conducting the upcoming limited registration, should the kits fail
to perform as expected.
Speaking to Radio Ghana's Isaac Asare in Bolgatanga, Mr Yeboah reiterated that the efficiency of the new
software is assured, therefore prospective voters including those that have
attained the age of 18 years should present their valid ID cards and go through
the registration process peacefully.
He said the trial card to be issued at the
designated registration centres is not a valid card to be used in voting. Mr
Arthur Yeboah disclosed that though there could not be the need for journalists
to be issued with accreditation cards during the exercise, they are expected to
comport themselves well and see to the success of the day’s exercise.
He encouraged
the various political party representatives can be a centers to observe how it
is conducted.
