“Ghana uses an active registration system whereby potential voters are required to personally visit the registration centre during a specified period and prove their identity using one of the four accepted ID documents or by the identification guarantee form signed by two registered voters. Then the biometric data – a photograph and ten fingerprints – are captured and barcoded in the voter register and on the voter ID card which is issued instantly on the spot. Voters registered ahead of the 2012 and 2015 elections in principle did not have to register again.”
