“The names of about 30,000 registered voters have been deleted or expunged from the provisional voters’ register because they are either on the exceptions lists or the multiple lists,” Mrs. Annor said.
“The multiple list is made up of names of all those who engaged in double registration during the voter’s registration exercise.”
She added: “The exceptions list is made up of registered voters who were found guilty by the district registration review committees at the various district levels.
“They were challenged probably because they were under 18 years, non-Ghanaians, or gave wrong locations. During the registration exercise, we went offline, so we did not detect immediately.”
