16 Photos Of What Voting In Ghana Looks Like

On this day, our thumbs are louder than our mouths.

1. It starts with the long queues.

2. And here.

3. The queues can get very long, so people use objects to mark their positions and later comeback when the poll opens.

4. The visually impaired is usually guided by a representative of the Electoral commission of Ghana.

5. Ghanaians do not take our voting lightly so this is usually how high trafficked streets looks like on voting day.

6. Yes, this is Adum, Kumasi on a week day.

7. Adum is one the busiest business districts in the country.

8. We use the indelible ink to indicate our choice.

9. So our fingers look like this after voting.

10. And here.

11. Sometimes the pink ink turns dark.

12. When we get tired after being in long queues all day, the Waakye sellers come to our rescue.

13. The presidential ballot looks like this.

14. And the ballot box looks like this.

15. The elderly are not left behind.

16. Since major activities grinds to a halt, most of us just spend the day like this.

16. A typical polling station set-up.
