EC Addresses Challenges On Biometric Registration As Second Phase Approaches

The Electoral Commission is meeting to discuss ways to avert the challenges and concerns experienced during the first phase of the biometric registration. The first phase of the nationwide biometric registration commenced on the 24th of March and is expected to end on the 2nd April. Some of the concerns raised about the exercise, includes the unavailability of logistics and the slow pace of the process. The EC is hopeful it will surmount them during the second phase. �We believe the second phase of the registration will take off smoothly because all the challenges have been outlined and there are already processes to contain those challenges,� the Director of Public Affairs at the Electoral Commission, Christian Owusu Parry, told Citi News Mr. Parry said most of the challenges had majorly to do with the breakdown of equipment but is certain that such problems will not be repeated in the second phase.
