The exercise which began on Monday, July 18 was meant to offer prospective voters the chance to check whether their voting details on the register are correct and their fingerprint verified to avoid any inconvenience during the general elections.
But some exhibition centers visited by Pulse.com.gh in Accra recorded low turn-out of eligible voters to validate their records.

Speaking to Pulse.com.gh, the Director of Communications at the Electoral Commission Eric Kofi Dzakpasu said even though the EC is yet to compile data from the exercise, observation from the various centers show that the exercise ended on a slow note.
“We are in the process of retrieving the materials, and then gathering data and statistics which we can use to engage ourselves in any meaningful discussion. But if observation and reports from local correspondence of the media are anything to go by, we can all say that the exercise started on a slow note in terms of patronage and it continued consistently and has come to an end on such a note,” he said.
He added that the Commission will review the entire voter exhibition exercise and take a decision on the way forward.
