Ghana’s Electoral Commission (EC) has announced that students wishing to transfer their votes from their registration locations to their campuses will be permitted to do so.
This measure is intended to enable them to participate in the upcoming general elections scheduled for December 7.
The EC has designated July 3 to July 5, 2024, for the vote transfers, which will take place on school campuses across Ghana.
Speaking to the media, the President of the National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS), Daniel Oppong Kyeremeh, praised the EC for facilitating the vote transfers and establishing voter transfer centres on various campuses.
Mr. Kyeremeh encouraged all Ghanaian students to visit the voter transfer centres on their campuses with their ID cards for verification and the activation of the transfer.
He emphasized that students would not be allowed to transfer their votes to a constituency different from where their school is situated.
