Cape Coast, March 18, GNA - Members of the University of Cape Coast (UCC) branch of the Tertiary Education Institutions Network (TEIN) of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) have called on the Electoral Commission to provide cameras during the on-going registering exercise involving students on campus.

According to them, this would help ensure that students in tertiary institutions, who are likely to be on vacation when cameras are brought to registration centres later after the exercise, are not disenfranchised, since they would not be around to have their photographs taken.

The UCC TEIN members made the call in a statement issued and signed by their president, Mr Charles Zorku, at Cape Coast on Wednesday. The statement expressed concern about the designated dates fixed by the EC for the cameras to be provided in the regions, with the exception of the Upper east and west regions, and questioned who would be responsible for the transport fares of students if they have to come down from their hometowns to have their photographs taken.

"We in TEIN foresee a looming confusion, as the electoral commission stands to disenfranchise thousands of students who in one way or the other could not get the means to come down to get their pictures taken", the statement declared.
