A registrant at one of the centres in Accra<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The limited voter registration exercise by the Electoral Commission (EC) across the country yesterday took off smoothly after initial technical glitches at some registration centres.<\/p>\n

The nation is carrying out the Biometric Voter Registration ahead of December 7 presidential and parliamentary elections.<\/p>\n

DAILY GUIDE<\/em><\/strong> reporters who observed the process said that technical issues at a number of\u00a0registration centres on Tuesday nearly hampered the smooth start of the Biometric Voter Registration exercise.<\/p>\n

The technical issues included internet connectivity, printer malfunctions, as well as cameras and thumbprint machines that could not connect to computers in some centres.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Northern Region<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eric Kombat<\/em><\/strong> reports from Sagnarigu that the development left some first-time registrants stranded\u00a0at the Sagnarigu EC office registration centre.<\/p>\n

According to him, one of the applicants, Esther Laari, complained about the delay in having her name added to the voter register after arriving at the Sagnarigu EC office about 6:00 a.m.<\/p>\n

\u201cI came here around 6:00 a.m. and so far they have not been able to register anybody due to the challenge. The situation here is really bad,\u201d she snapped.<\/p>\n

He reported that the Tamale Metro EC Director, Bismark Nteh, explained the technical challenge was related to the taking of the applicant\u2019s picture, and added that the issue had been reported to officials in Accra for redress.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were able to log in but immediately you get to the picture of the applicant, the system will not allow you to proceed to the details of the applicant and so we informed Accra and we were told the engineers are working tirelessly to resolve the challenge and fortunately the system has started working,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

He assured applicants that the EC would do its best to ensure that all applicants go through the process smoothly and acquire their ID card.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Greater Accra<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Accra, Prince Fiifi Yorke<\/em><\/strong> reports the situation was not different at the Accra Technical University registration centre where students stayed in long queues, waiting for EC officials to rectify the anomaly and begin the registration process.<\/p>\n

According to him, as of 2:00 p.m., no applicant had been registered or provided a voter ID card due to technical problems.<\/p>\n

He stated that EC personnel at the centre\u00a0informed him that the problem was a national issue that was being addressed by the Commission\u2019s IT officers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe challenge we are facing here is not only peculiar to Accra Technical University, but it has been experienced across the country. As it stands now, we are patiently waiting for directives from our superiors as to what we should do,\u201d the officer explained.<\/p>\n

One of the students, named Belinda Sey, expressed her disappointment and frustration with the registration process.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Western Region<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the Western Region, Emmanuel Opoku<\/em><\/strong> reports from Takoradi that both New Patriotic Party (NPP) and National Democratic Congress (NDC) agents at the University of Mines and Technology (UMaT) centre\u00a0for the ongoing limited voter registration exercise were concerned about the delay in the start of the exercise.<\/p>\n

According to political party representatives, the EC previously stated that it had\u00a0put in place appropriate measures\u00a0to ensure a successful exercise.<\/p>\n

They were shocked that such difficulties were encountered at the outset of the exercise, slowing the registration procedure.<\/p>\n

According to the NDC agent at the centre, the exercise which was supposed to start at 7:00 a.m. yesterday started after 12 noon.<\/p>\n

\u201cI arrived at the centre at exactly 6:00 a.m., anticipating the exercise to begin at 7:00\u00a0a.m. However, the machines for the exercise were brought to the centre\u00a0at about\u00a08:00 a.m.,\u201d Abdul Kudus, the NDC agent, fumed.<\/p>\n

Despite the delay, Kudus stated that EC personnel were unable to operate the machines and had to send them out to be replaced. They could not operate the new ones until after 12:00 p.m.<\/p>\n

For his part, the NPP\u2019s agent, Samuel Opoku, also the NPP TESCON President at UMaT, stated that he believed\u00a0the problem was a national error.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe learned that the problem is prevalent throughout the country. However, we believe that tomorrow the system will be able to function as intended,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

Ishmael Mensah, the EC representative at the centre, acknowledged that the exercise began after 12 p.m. and that as of 12:37 p.m., only one person had registered.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Eastern Region<\/strong><\/p>\n

From the Eastern Region, Daniel Bampoe <\/em><\/strong>reports that the region also had its share of the nationwide problem, which was said to be a network challenge.<\/p>\n

According to him, at Koforidua, New Juaben South Municipality, a\u00a0number of applicants who had lined up to be captured by the EC as new voters were disappointed.<\/p>\n

As of 11 a.m. on Tuesday, May 7, 2024, none of the first-time voters who showed up had been successfully registered.<\/p>\n

Kofi Asante Owusu, the EC\u2019s New Juaben South Municipal Director, stated that the issue had been brought to the attention of officials at the headquarters, and that they hoped it would be resolved shortly.<\/p>\n

He stated that, in addition to the Municipal Electoral Office, a team from Koforidua Technical University will register students for two days, and a mobile team will be deployed to rural locations.<\/p>\n

He stated that the delay also affected districts such as Afram Plains North and South, Nkawkaw, Abirim, Achaise, Akim Oda, Lower Manya Krobo, Ayensuano, and Suhum.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bono Region<\/strong><\/p>\n

From Bono Region, Daniel Y. Dayee<\/em><\/strong> reports that as of 12:30 p.m. registration centres in the Sunyani East Constituency had not commenced registration, which is targeting first time voters in the region.<\/p>\n

Ernest Opoku, the Municipal Electoral Officer, blamed the situation on a code activation failure, thereby denying them access\u00a0to register applicants.<\/p>\n

He said the problem ran across all the three registration centres in the constituency.<\/p>\n

The problem was resolved after some minutes past 12:00 p.m., he indicated.<\/p>\n

The EC official stated that they expected to register approximately 5,000 applicants in the Sunyani East Constituency, indicating that the\u00a0limited registration drive in 2023 registered 3,583 in the constituency.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Challenges Resolved<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Commission said the technical issues in most of the registration centres were resolved by 12 noon yesterday.<\/p>\n

\u201cConsequently, the registration exercise is proceeding smoothly in almost all the registration centres nationwide,\u201d Michael Boadu, Ag. Director, Public Affairs of EC, announced in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Commission wishes to bring to the attention of the general public that, following our monitoring of the voters registration exercise this morning, we observed some technical challenges with internet connectivity in a number of our centres.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis delayed the start of the registration at a number of the registration centres. We are happy to note that by 12 p.m., the technical issues in most of the registration centres had been resolved,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n

According to the Commission, it will continue to monitor the registration exercise and promptly address any issues that may arise.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe encourage all qualified applicants to avail themselves and register to vote in their respective districts,\u201d the statement concluded.<\/p>\n
