GHANA CARD WON’T BE USED TO VOTE IN GHANA’S 2024 ELECTIONS – Electoral Commission

Chair of the Electoral Commission (EC) Jean Mensa has said that the Ghana Card will not be used to vote in the 2024 general elections.

She said the Commission is seeking to use the card for the voter registration exercise.

Briefing Parliament on the Constitutional Instrument (CI) that is seeking to make the Ghana Card the only document for voter registration, on Tuesday, February 28 Madam Jean Mensa said “It is important to rehash that the use of the Ghana Card as the sole document of identification will ensure and guarantee the credibility and integrity of our register and elections, it will prevent the enrolment of minors to register, it will prevent foreigners from being registered to vote and it will eliminate the guarantor system which is prone to abuse and which promotes conflicts and violence.”

“The Ghana Card will not be used for voting in 2024, it will be used to register,” she added.

The Minority have been raising issues against the proposed CI.

On Thursday, February 23, they rejected officials from the EC and the National Identification (NIA) who were in Parliament to brief the House on the proposed  CI.

They were expecting Madam Jean Mensa herself to appear.
