    The Electoral Commission in Ghana has released its revised voters’ register for the 7 December presidential election, the Ghana News Agency reported on Tuesday.

    About one million names have been added to the updated list and 133,373 have been removed. There are now 10,706,037 registered voters. The list was revised to allow those who had not registered to do so, including people who had just reached the legal voting age of 18.
