The exercise will be conducted in one registration centre in an urban area and another in a rural area, says Eric Mensah-Bonsu, the Deputy Eastern Regional Director of the EC.
In an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in this capital of eastern Region Monday, he said that for the urban area, the Nursing Training School Registration Centre in the New Juaben Municipality has been chosen, whilst the Akyem Abenase Presby Primary School Registration Centre in the Akyemmansa District had been selected for the rural area.
He explained that the exercise was to enable the EC to test all that they had planned to put in place for the main registration exercise, which is scheduled for March 24 to May 5 this year.
The main registration exercise would be conducted in clusters, he said, adding that four registration centres would benefit from one Registration Kit which includes all the various accessories for the biometric registration exercise.
He said the accessories included cameras, scanners to capture fingerprints of voters and other equipment to capture other information required for the biometric registration exercise.
