The Electoral Commission (EC) announced today, Tuesday, October 3, 2023, that the transfer of votes and replacement of lost or defaced ID cards will commence.
Dr. Bossman Asare, the EC’s Deputy Chair in Charge of Corporate Services, urged the public to use the window to either transfer their vote or replace their missing ID cards in an interview on Eyewitness News on Citi FM.
“The transfers begin on Tuesday, and we are doing the transfers from October 3 to October 9, which is seven days. So, for anyone who wants to transfer to a district, this is the time to do it. And on Tuesday too, we are doing the replacement of ID cards. So if your ID card is defaced or missing, just go to the district offices. There is a shortcode for you to use to pay your money, and once you pay, you go to any district office and the ID card will be replaced for you.”
“For the replacement of the cards, we have not announced an end date yet. It is only the transfers which are ending on October 9, including Saturdays and Sundays. But for the card replacements, if you go to any of our district offices from Monday to Friday, they should be able to replace it for you once you have evidence of payment.”
In a statement, the EC urged applicants to update their ID cards by phoning 2221067# and following the steps.
