The Bawumia voter registration effort has been postponed.

On Saturday, September 23, 2023, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia declared that his campaign tour would be put on hold.

The Vice President will visit a few registration facilities during the campaign break, according to a statement from Gideon Boako, Dr. Bawumia’s spokesperson.

 

 

 

 

Additionally, he will use the visit to exhort all party members to concentrate on encouraging eligible people to apply for voter ID cards.

The campaign pleaded with every party member to pay attention and put forth great effort to meet the registration goals for each constituency.

On Tuesday, September 12, 2023, all 268 District offices of the commission nationwide opened for the Limited Voters’ Registration Exercise, which allowed eligible Ghanaians who had reached the age of 18 or older to register to vote.

As part of its planning for the 2024 general elections, the EC included it in its preparations.

Ghanaians who had reached the age of 18 since the last registration in 2020 and those who were older but couldn’t register during the 2020 registration exercise were eligible to participate in the registration activity, which would expire on Monday, October 2, 2023.
