EC suspends registration exercise

EC suspends Registration Exercise.
The Electoral Commission (EC) has suspended the on-going
registration exercise ‘pending thorough discussion’ on the
event.
The Election management body in a statement said that it is
still considering on whether to continue with the process or not.
Political parties including the NPP, NDC and the PPP have
all complained about the registration exercise claiming they
were not informed before the body carried out the exercise.
Below is the full statement:
19th May, 2015 Continuous registration of voters put on hold
The chairman of the Electoral Commission has directed that
though continuous registration of voters is a facility under
the Law, the formal resumption of the registration must be
put on hold pending a thorough discussion of the matter with
IPAC. All district officers of the commission and the general public
are to take note of this directive and comply.
