The EC made this known at an emergency Inter-Party Advisory Committee [IPAC] meeting Thursday.
A total of 127,000 voters including media and security personnel as well as electoral officials who will be engaged on December 7 for various duties were expected to cast their ballot during the special voting exercise.

But hundreds of them who took part in the special voting exercise indicated that their names were not in the register.
In Klottey-Korle Constituency in the Greater Accra Region, some of them said that they were asked to go to their actual constituencies they registered in to vote.
In Tamale, it was reported that the regional police commander DCOP Ken Yeboah could not find his name in the special voting list.
In Nima, in the Greater Accra Region, the electoral process was halted following confusion at the polling centre due to some missing names in the voters’ register.

A similar situation happened in Agona Swedru in the Central Region, where two police officers were turned away because their names were not on the list.
Many, including the Coalition of Domestic Election Observers, CODEO pleaded with the EC to extend the exercise.
The EC has since obliged and has decided that persons who could not cast their ballots could now do so at the original constituencies they registered to vote next Sunday.
