Special Voting underway
Over one hundred thousand Ghanaians will today
head to designated polling stations in Ghana to
cast their ballot in a Special Voting exercise
ahead of the main polls next week.

The special Voting is taking place in some 275
polling stations across the country.

Meanwhile, there have been concerns over the list
realesed for the exercise by the electoral
commission.

In the Volta and Northern regions, some security
personnel have complained of missing names, among
others. The EC is yet to comment on such
concerns.

Special voting is a special dispensation under the
electoral laws that allows registered voters who
will not be able to present themselves at their
polling stations on voting day as a result of the
roles they will play in the elections to vote on a
date before the rest of the electorate vote on the
date set for the elections.

The category of people who are allowed to do
special voting are security personnel, officials
of the EC and journalists.
