Ho, Dec 01, GNA – The special voting exercise for security personnel, the media, staff of the Electoral Commission and all others on duty on polls day has taken-off smoothly at the Ho Regional office of the EC.

Nana Oduro Numapau, Ho Municipal Electoral Officer, speaking to the Ghana News Agency said the exercise started exactly 0700 hours and 1,472 registered voters are expected to exercise their franchise.

He said two centres have been deployed and would have a capacity of 735 and 737 voters on the roll respectively.
