The Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana has announced a mop-up voter registration exercise to be conducted from August 1 to August 3, 2024.
This initiative aims to provide an opportunity for individuals who turned 18 after the limited voter registration period and those who did not participate earlier to register.

In addition to the mop-up registration, the EC will also carry out a voter exhibition from August 20 to August 27. This will allow registered voters to verify their details on the electoral roll.
Jean Mensa, the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, made these announcements during a visit from the Election Security Taskforce, led by Inspector General of Police, Dr. George Akuffu Dampare. The task force was there to debrief the EC on the election security performance for the first half of the year.
“I would like to put on record that the mop-up of the voter registration exercise will take place from August 1–3, 2024, and it is to afford persons who turned 18 after May 29 or persons who have not previously registered the opportunity to get onto our register; this goes to persons who are eligible,” Mensa stated.
