Some military and police personnel in the Ashanti Region are complaining that they are being prevented from casting their vote in Thursday’s Special Voting exercise because they cannot trace their names on the list of early voters.
The Special or Early Voting is organised by the Electoral Commission for journalists, security personnel and officers of the election management body who will be busy supervising the general elections on 7 December.
Director of Communications of the Electoral Commission, Mr Kofi Dzakpasu, told Prince Minkah on Class91.3FM’s Executive Breakfast Show that the inability of the security officers to vote could be attributed to the inability of their High Commands to submit their names.
Mr Dzakpasu also said some personnel may relocated to different places but may not have transferred their vote as required by law and so cannot vote in their current places of residence.
He added that personnel who may also have made errors in submitting their voter ID numbers may not be able to vote.
Ghanaians are electing a new president and new parliament for a fresh four-year term. Seven candidates are contesting in the presidential race.

Hmmm...The word of God still remains supreme!
Coming events cast their shadows. What we are seeing is the result of the arrogance of charlotte Osei, IGP, ndc and their cronies. Now the birds have come to roost. Who is to blame? As I type this message, all police officers at korle bu numbering over 50, including the korle bu commander are stranded. Their namrs are not on the EC list.Prisons commander also not allowed to vote at Legon cos he didnt register in the constituency.Confusion galore!
Mr. PRO...I want to tell you that, this is a completely baseless information you are given us. Why on earth should you say someone has submitted wrong ID and so cannot be allowed to vote. who provides the ID and whose property is the ID and at what time are you saying the ID is a wrong one...please know that the Ghanaian is wise up now and everything things seems to show that what people were saying about the EC has a bit of truth in it...pls sit up and tell us something of essence and absorbance.
