We won’t use provisional register for 2020 elections – EC replies Minority Leader

“The new instrument that has been laid, Public Elections Regulation 2020, which has just been laid by the Majority Leader on behalf of the independent Electoral Commission Published under Article 45, my reading of it gives me much to be concerned about and to state authoritatively without fear of contradiction that the 2020 presidential and parliamentary elections of Ghana is likely to run on a provisional voter register and not a certified final register,” he stated.

“Because in the definition column of the newly introduced Regulation, Public Elections Regulation which replaces CI 94, a registered voter in it is defined as ‘register voter means a person whose name appears on the provisional voters register’, not as it was in CI 94 as certified final register.”

But Dr Quaicoe said the leader of the Minority Caucus is wrong as per the programme of the Commission from now till December 7.
