Coalition for Domestic Election Observers (CODEO) has blamed Thursdays low turnout for the limited voter registration exercise on poor publicity by the Electoral Commission (EC) for the event.
“Publicity has been very low in this particular exercise. They [EC] have not come out [to do publicity]. In the first place they were late in coming out to do publicity. And then when they started, it was just on the radio and little bit on the television,” National Coordinator of CODEO Kofi Arhin told Joy News channel on Multi TV.
However, some new voters have so far been unable to register at various centers especially in the Ashanti, Eastern and Volta regions.

Apart from some polling centres experiencing faulty machines or shortage of voter registers, people who have lost their ID cards and want a new card is another challenge the officials in some polling stations are grappling with.
