The voter registration exercise ended with 16,963,306 persons registered to vote.

These provisional figures were announced today [Wednesday] by the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Jean Mensa, pending processes of deduplication and adjudication.

She expects the figure to drop after these processes.

“The process of deduplication and adjudication, which are currently going will flag multiple registrations in the system,” she said.

“Additionally, the challenge system put in place during the registration and exhibition exercise will further flag unqualified voters on the register,” Jean Mensa noted further.

The Greater Accra Region had the most registered voters with 3,5900,805 persons.

The Ashanti Region followed with, 3,013,856, Eastern Region with 1,628,108 and the Central Region with 1,566,061 persons registered.
