Use of Ghana Card to register as voter is subject to being challenged - EC

Director of Electoral Services at the Electoral Commission, Serebour Quaicoe has said that the use of the Ghana Card to register for the 2024 election is subject to being challenged by anyone who deems it fit.

This, he explained, is because some Ghanaians may have obtained the Ghana Card through unauthorised means.

Speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile, he stated that having a Ghana Card, the required identification document for registration, does not guarantee that everyone would be registered to vote.

“Even though your Ghana Card is your evidence..again if you come with your Ghana Card, it does not mean that you will not be challenged.

So it is possible that some people might have also acquired the Ghana Card through fraudulent means.

Quaicoe stated that the problems with registration and voting are the reason the EC is adjusting its systems and is committed to making the Ghana Card the sole identification card for voting.

According to him, the use of the Ghana Card to register, “is for only those who have not registered.”
