Mr Samuel Tettey, the Deputy Chairman in Charge of Operations at the Electoral Commission, on Wednesday said a total of 9,860,164 applicants have successfully registered as of July 20.
This, he said, represents 65.7 per cent of the projected 15 million of registered voters.
The on-going Voters Registration Exercise is taking place at over 33,367 registration centres.
Speaking at the sixth edition of the “Let The Citizen Know’ series, Mr Tettey said the deployment of more Kits to the registration centres, increase in the number of mobile teams and back-ups and immediate replacement of faulty Kits had resulted in the relative increase of person registered in phase three.
Mr Tettey noted that the Greater Accra region was leading with 2,128,515 representing 21.6 per cent followed by the Ashanti region with 1,773,601 translating into 18 per cent and the Eastern region with 935,296 representing 9.5 and the Central region 916,848 representing 9.3 per cent.
