It looks like the era of double and multiple voting by Ghanaians are over. The voters register used for the 2008 Presidential and Parliamentary elections is to be scrapped.
To be scrapped as used in the previous paragraph means that Ghana’s Electoral Commission (EC) will not use the 2008 voters register. An advert by the EC currently running in the media states in part that the EC “intends to use biometric technology to replace the existing Voters Register that was compiled in 2004 (emphasis ours).
The heading of the advert is ‘Replacement of Voters Register (Using Biometirc Techno logy). An essential part of the biometric voters register is that it is going to be very difficult for persons to vote more than once. This means that one avenue of rigging elections is virtually being eliminated.
