AÂ public forum is to be held on Monday, July 11 to give stakeholders and the public, in general, an opportunity to make inputs into the Constitution (Amendment) Bill.
Â
Currently before Parliament, the Bill seeks to change the date of Ghana’s elections from the current December 7 to the first Monday of every November in every election year by amending Article 112(4) of the 1992 Constitution.
The new voting day is expected to give enough time for a transition from one government to the other, especially in the event of run-offs.Â
According to the Public Affairs department of Parliament, the forum will take place at Committee Rooms 1 & 2 at 9:00am prompt..
If passed, this year’s elections will be held on November 7, 2016 while the next five elections will be held on November 2, 2020.
