33 Clusters for Biometric Registration in Bolgatanga

The 133 Polling stations in the Bolgatanga Municipality have been clustered into 33 clusters for the biometric registration exercise.

Mr Oscar Apemah, Bolgatanga Municipal Director of Electoral Commission, said on Friday that one more polling station left an orphan would also be captured in the exercise.

He said this when he took reporters through the exercise of the biometric registration in Bolgatanga in the Upper East Region.

He said 42 biometric kits were released for the Bolgatanga Municipal assignment and densely populated clusters would be catered for with adequate kits for the exercise.

He said adequate preparations and education had been done to inform the public and the communities on the processes of the exercise and warned that the Electoral Commission would prosecute anyone found doing double registration.

Mr Apemah called for cooperation from the media to help make the exercise a successful one.**
