Voter roll errors 'nothing major to beef about' - Boassman Asare

The Electoral Commission has promised that there would be no more errors in the compilation of the new voter roll during the ongoing limited voter registration exercise, saying the earlier mistakes made in computing the numbers were insignificant.
The Commission corrected some errors in the figures on Monday via a press statement.
At a press conference later on the same day, Deputy Commissioner Bossman Eric Asare, told reporters: "We have taken the necessary steps to ensure that those things do not happen again".
He said: "When you look at the figures in reality, we have the Ghana map and the bar graph, all the figures in the bar graph are all correct".
"You can see the real figures were correct, but the segregation of the various districts, so I don’t see this as anything major for people to make a beef about. We think that everything should be fine", he reassured the public.
Dr Asare also provided the following figures for the sixth day of the registration exercise.
“At the end of day 6 of the registration exercise, the following are the figures for each region. Greater Accra 33,899, representing 13.5%, North East region 6,928, representing 2.8%, Upper East 10,646, representing 4.2%. Northern region 19,491 representing 7.8%, Bono Region 8,972, 3.6%".
"The rest are Bono East Region 9,681, 3.9%. Volta 12, 190, 4.9%. Upper West 8,74 representing 3.4%. Eastern 25, 625, representing 10.2%. Central 27, 984, 11.1%. Ahafo 6, 273, 2.4%. Ashanti region 44, 232, 17.6%. Western North 9, 134, 3.3%. Oti 7,259 2.9%. Savannah 5, 261, 2.1%. Western 15,100, 6.0%. The national total is 251, 149.”
