Ghana used to be ruled by a military government. In 1992, Ghana allowed its citizens to elect its leaders, and in 1993, Ghana became a parliamentary democracy known as the Fourth Republic. The 1992 constitution splits powers between a president, parliament, cabinet, council of state, and an independent national court.

Anyone can vote in Ghana, regardless of their gender, race, background, money, and so on.^[1]
