This early voting process ensures these individuals can fulfill their voting rights without disrupting their professional responsibilities during the elections.
“All applicants for special voting should apply directly to the returning officer of the constituency where the applicant is a registered voter. Members of institutions who desire to apply as a group will submit a list of their members to the returning officers to serve as a register to facilitate the process” Jean Mensa said.
