Mr Samuel Tettey, Deputy Chairman in Charge of Operations at the Commission, who told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in a meeting, said the Commission generally imparted information to the applicable organizations, including banks, to empower them to check the validness of the cards introduced to them as a major aspect of their transactions. 


Mr Tettey said the Voter's ID card additionally filled in as an ID card to help monetary exchanges and filling distinctive application forms. 


"As our significant partners, the Commission will communicate accordingly at the point at which the procedure is done and when the new card gets operational," he said. "When we are finished with the continuous enrollment and the new register is accumulated and legitimized by the Court, the old card gets invalid." But up to that point, Mr Tettey clarified that candidates who had effectively enlisted and gotten their cards could just utilize them to vouch for forthcoming candidates they knew as Ghanaians.
