About 42,000 temporary personnel have been trained to operate the 7,000 digital registration kits for the exercise with the capacity to register between 100 and 150 persons per day.
Dr. Kwadwo Afari-Gyan, the EC Chairman, is quoted by the Ghana News Agency as saying for operational purposes, the nationwide exercise would be carried out in four phases with each phase lasting for a maximum of 10 days.
The EC Chairman said registration would be done at registration centres, which would serve as polling stations during elections.
Dr. Afari-Gyan assured people with disability that they would be registered, saying 'If you are disabled, the machine will register you. If you have (only) six fingers, the computer will register you, but if you have none, we will make special provision for you.'
Applicants will also be required to show evidence of eligibility to register by providing either a birth certificate, valid passport, baptismal card, a valid driver’s licence or a national health insurance card, the national I.D. card or the existing voter ID card.
