Mrs Jean Adukwei Mensa, Chairperson of the EC who announced this at a media interaction said the exhibition, which follows the successful voter’s registration exercise would provide an opportunity for the electorate to safeguard the credibility of the Voters Register.

All polling stations within the carved areas for the Referendum she said would be designated as Exhibition centres for the display of the Provisional Voters Register for public inspection.

Mrs Mensa stated that during the period of the exhibition, both the 2018 provisional voters register and the 2016 voters register would be placed at the exhibition centres for prospective voters to verify their details as captured and make requests for amendments or insertions where necessary.

At the Centres, she noted that the Commission would show exceptions, exclusion and multiple registration lists adding that all prospective voters whose details appeared on any of the lists would not be allowed to take part in the election
