Electoral Offences in that particular electoral area where s/he wants to apply to get registered as a voter. A non eligible voter on the grounds of age, nationality or residence commits an offence if s/he attempts to register or succeeds in registering as a voter. In such a scenario, if detected, the affected person's name will be deleted from the register. Additionally, in the case of a non-national, it attracts a form of prosecution if found guilty by a competent court of jurisdiction. Ideally, barring any event of transfer of vote, the centre where one registers is where one is supposed to vote. This implies that voters are at least, supposed to register in their constituency of choice and nowhere else if only they wish to vote for a candidate of their choice in the parliamentary election. The Electoral Commission, in its wisdom, may vary the application procedure and the period of registration in the case of disabled or physically­challenged persons or prison inmates as well as Ghanaians living abroad. 10
