Five opposition political parties; the National Democratic Congress(NDC), Convention People’s Party(CPP), All People’s Congress (APC), Liberal Party of Ghana(LPG) and the Great Consolidated Popular Party(GCPP) have today filed a suit against the Electoral Commission(EC of Ghana in the Supreme Court over the latter’s decision to conduct the upcoming Limited Voter Registration exercise at their District Offices.

The five political parties have filed an Application for Interlocutory Injunction to restrain the EC from proceeding with the announced Limited Voter Registration exercise pending the final determination of the substantive matter.

The parties are of the view that EC’s decision to restrict the centers of voter registration to their district offices has the potential to deprive many eligible voters of their right to be registered as voters and to vote in public elections.

The limited voter registration will be conducted for eligible Ghanaians who turned 18 years old after the 2020 registration exercise and other eligible voters from September 12, 2023, to October 2, 2023.

The EC Chairperson, Jean Mensa, has said that the exercise will be held at all 268 district offices of the EC across the country.

See attached, a copy of the writ filed by the parties for more details.
