EC Cautions Against Defacing Poster

The Electoral Commission (EC) is warning against defacing any of its posters or movement plan for the ongoing voter registration exercise. In a statement released on Friday July 3, 2020 and signed by its
Acting Director of Public Affairs, Sylvia Annoh, the Commission highlighted a number of electoral offenses it claimed to have taken note of during the ongoing exercise. Among the offenses, it says, are presence of
non-accredited persons at some registration centres, attempt by some applicants to register at different centres other than where they reside, illegal possession and distribution of the Commission’s forms, defacing of posters and movement plans of the Commission posted at the registration centres. The Commission
reiterated that only persons with accreditation are allowed to observe the process at the registration centres. “All applicants are expected to leave the registration centres after registering,” the Commission urged.
