A year ago

The arrangement of the Voters' Register utilized for the 2020 general decisions was in accordance with the institutional act of the Commission throughout the long term. The Commission has the institutional propensity for gathering new Voters' Rolls each eight (8) years; aside from the 1992 and 1996 discretionary rolls, the Commission arranged new registers in 2004, 2012 and 2020. The Election Management body has not digressed from its act of gathering Voters' Rolls to a great extent before an overall political race in Ghana.

 

There is a clue in the media space that the Commission intends to order another Voters' Register utilizing the Ghana Card as the main satisfactory report for enlistment. The Commission is nearly manhandling its restrictive sacred powers by taking a choice to have another roll of electors.

 

In an article named "Refine the Independence of the Commission", I framed various variables as convincing elements that could illuminate a choice by the Election Management body to order another Voters' Register; outdated innovation, change in highlights of ID of citizens and the presentation of an original constituent administration framework. Hence, the freedom of the Commission ought not be the basic issue to think about in taking a choice to order another Voters' Roll. The models for the gathering of another Voters' Register should be founded on the outdated nature of the framework and hardware for dealing with the information of citizens and the whole discretionary framework, the need to present another component for distinguishing citizens and the necessity to utilize a clever innovation for dealing with a constituent framework. In every one of these cases, the Commission should show the need and not the comfort for another roll.

 

Truth be told, if the choice to order another register by and by isn't moored on the elements illustrated, such a choice must passionately be dismissed by Civil Society Organizations and other people who matter in administration and governmental issues. The choice is packed with dishonesty as there is no legitimization for such an activity.
