The Electoral Commission (EC) says it is ready to adopt the Ghana card as the only document to prove oneâ€™s citizenship in the next voter registration exercise.He said when the law is amended, persons who did not have the Ghana card would not be able to register to vote because the law would not allow the use of passport or guarantors as substitute for the Ghana Card.

â€œWe are going to amend the law to incorporate that. What it means is that going forward, anybody who turns 18 and want to register, you have to come with evidence of the Ghana card to show that you are a Ghanaian and 18 years then we will register the person. You canâ€™t use your passport or guarantors when the law is amended,â€ he said.
