Act 950, otherwise known as the National Identification Amendment Law 2017, is what empowers the issuance of new identity cards to Ghanaians by the National Identification Authority (NIA). Only birth certificates and passports would be accepted for the registration as per the National Identification Law. Therefore, he said the voters’ ID needs to be accepted, and so the provisions in the Act will have to be amended to have it backed by law. Dr Baezie said adding the voters’ ID to the required documents will help matters.
