The Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana has assured that all the errors on the voted identification cards would be corrected during the register exhibition process. The Electoral management body gave the assurance after its officials replaced a voter identity number with a person's date of birth. 

Photos of the wrong date went viral on social media amid the ongoing registration exercise which had already commenced since Tuesday, June 30,2020. The said card,issued in Tamale, indicated that its holder was born in 1702. The EC in a statement attributed the error as a 'typo'. 

"Our Regional Director confirmed that the problem was a typo. That card has since been corrected and reissued to the applicant", it said.
