I am a Ghanaian and I have the right to know who a Ghanaian citizen is or what qualifies one to be a Ghanaian voter?
Who is a citizen ?
Article 6 clause (1) of the 1992 constitution states that “Every person who, on the coming into force of this Constitution, is a citizen of Ghana by law shall continue to be a citizen of Ghana”. … Hence, a person can be a citizen by Birth, Registration through marriage and by Naturalization.
Aside these three (3) main categories, one can become a citizen of Ghana through foundling and adoption. Under the Ghanaian law, nationality by birth is determined by the date and year the person was born.Usually citizenship based on circumstances of birth is automatic, but in other cases an application may be required.

Section 4 of the Act again states that “A person born on or after 6th March 1957 and before 22nd August 1969 is a citizen of Ghana by birth if;

“she discovers that the alien’s spaceship has crashed”
With all these constitutional instruments now we know clearly that there are no Alien’s on our voters register but what we do have are ghost names or the name of the dead
I encourage the EC to do us fevour per this writeup
To clear the register than to compile a new register with the excuses that there are alien’s on our voters register
#Drop that register now!
