The workshop, which was organized by the Electoral Commission (EC) was aimed at sensitizing the participants on the importance of the referendum.

It also aimed at building the capacity of the female candidates and to educate Persons Living With Disability on sign language, illustrative, and pictorial educational materials.

Mr Lawrence Sarpong, Director of Administration, EC, Headquarters, said the Commission was making all the necessary efforts to ensure that Women and PLWDs participated fully in both District Level Election and the Referendum.

Mr Sarpong said the inclusive participation and representation at all levels of decision-making processes was critical in deepening democracy and for rapid development.

Mr Sarpong said "it is a proven fact that diverse groups make better decisions, especially where it comes to task as challenging as representing the  interests of citizens at all levels."

Mr. Nuhu Mahama, Oti Regional Director of the EC said his outfit would continue with the inclusive voter education and information directed at enhancing voters' awareness of the electoral processes and equipping them with knowledge on the processes.
