7 voting stations set up at African Faith Tabernacle in Dome-Kwabenya to ease voting process

Doreen Hammond reports that to reduce long queues, seven voting stations have been established at the African Faith Tabernacle polling station in the Dome-Kwabenya Constituency in Accra.

This measure proved effective as of 7:05 a.m. when voting began and continued smoothly until 10:00 a.m. when this reporter left the station.

Rebecca Ashie, a polling station officer at one of the newly created stations, explained that voters could easily identify their assigned station based on their code numbers and the process had been running smoothly so far.

Another polling officer, Emmanuel Appoh, noted that while the process had been fast overall, there were some delays caused by voters presenting their Ghana cards instead of their Voter’s Identity cards. Officials had to search for these voters' names before assigning them to the correct station, which took some extra time.

An officer at another station, Percy Nana Kweku Oduro-Dame, observed that voters were adhering to the queues and not attempting to bypass others.

Some officials raised concerns about the intense heat, suggesting that the addition of canopies would help improve the situation.
