As Ghana is approaching December polls, the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC), Madam Jean Mensa, has reassured that manual verification of a voter’s identity will be allowed on Election Day.
During her visit to Parliament, Madam Jean Mensa said that the Commission is optimistic to use the manual verification will.
Manual verification is used for voters who are unable to verify their eligibility to vote using the fingerprint and facial recognition technology.
“The CI 127 makes provision for manual verification and therefore we have made provisions and arrangements to have manual verification forms sent to all the polling stations across the country. We are however confident that because we have two modes of verification, i.e. fingerprint and facial recognition, this will be reduced substantially,” said Jean Mensa.
