Election 2020: Special voting underway in all 275 constituencies


Special voting is currently underway across Ghana at specially designated voting centres in the Presidential and Parliamentary elections.

The special voting is a dispensation provided by law to allow registered voters who will not be able to present themselves at their polling stations on the main election day because of the roles they play in the elections to vote on a date before the rest of the electorate vote on the date set for the election.

The EC is organising the special voting in compliance with provisions of the Public Elections Regulations, 2016 (C.I. 94).

Persons who qualify to vote under the special voting include members of the security services and agencies, personnel of the National Ambulance Service, accredited media persons, the National Media Commission and staff of the EC.

A total of 109,577 voters from 12 institutions are expected to cast their ballots today Tuesday, December 1.

The Ghana News Agency gathered that the special voting exercise is taking place at 311 Electoral Commission (EC) designated voting centres located in all the 275 constituencies.

The exercise which started at 7:00am will close at 5:00pm.
