The National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), has urged the Electoral Commission (EC) to publish deleted names from the voters’ register.
According to the Chairperson, Madam Josephine Nkrumah, the EC must treat this as urgent to avoid chaos.
She made the call at a special sitting of Parliament with critical state institutions on the 2020 polls.
“A lot of these names, about 16,000 of them are not even aware that on the day of voting they will get to the polling station and most likely be turned away. What we do at that critical time is of utmost importance,” she urged.
