EC begs public to participate in voters' register exhibition after poor turnout

Poor turnout for the nationwide voters' register exhibition has caused the Electoral Commission to appeal to the public to participate in the ongoing exercise. Director of Public Relations at the EC, Christian Owusu Parry, told Joy News despite a lot of public education on the exercise, the process has started at a very slow pace. Fiila News checks at some exhibition centres in Tamale confirmed that the turnout has so far being slow since the beginning of the exercise.Since October 24, 2014 when the process started, the characteristic long queues of people that is associated with the exercise has been missing. Mr Parry, however, said even if people voted in 2012, it is important that they go and check their names in the voters' register. Mr. Owusu Parry advised voters to take advantage of the exercise to verify their details since there would be no extension after the process ends in three days.
