It is part of the project, “Youth Voice: Activating First-Time Voters for Ghana’s 2024 General Elections,” implemented by GACC in collaboration with the Ghana Integrity Initiative (GII), with funding from the United States Embassy in Ghana.

The partnership aims to empower first-time voters with a deeper understanding of the voting process and the importance of electoral integrity.

Mrs. Beauty Emefa Narteh, Executive Secretary of GACC, speaking at separate events at St. Augustine’s College and OLA College of Education at Cape Coast, said the project would contribute to the country’s democratic gains.

Mrs Narteh stated that, “For an election to be successful and democratic, first-time voters must understand their rights and responsibilities and must be sufficiently knowledgeable and well informed to cast ballot that are valid and to participate meaningfully in the voting process.”
