Provisional figures as announced today, Wednesday, August 12, 2020, by the Electoral Commission put the total number of persons who registered in the just voter registration exercise at 16,963,306.
It includes the 30,814 persons registered during the two-day mop-up registration exercise over the weekend.
Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Jean Mensa, said the figure is pending processes of deduplication and adjudication.
She expects the figure to drop after these processes.
“The process of deduplication and adjudication, which are currently going will flag multiple registrations in the system,” she said.
“Additionally, the challenge system put in place during the registration and exhibition exercise will further flag unqualified voters on the register,” Jean Mensa noted further.
The EC chairperson is confident that the upcoming processes “will contribute to the cleaning of the register and ensure its integrity and credibility ahead of the 2020 election.”
The Greater Accra Region had the most registered voters with 3,509,805 persons.
The Ashanti Region, followed by, 3,013,856 persons, Eastern Region with 1,628,108 persons and the Central Region with 1,566,061 persons.
