“X. DIASPORA VOTING

The Representation of the People Amendment Act (ROPAA 2006: Act 699) recognizes the rights of Ghanaians living in the diaspora to vote during elections.

The AUEOM notes that this provision could not be enforced due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The EC informed the Mission that it could not register Ghanaians living abroad owing to international COVID-19 restrictions and measures.”
