The delegates are drawn from all the 275 constituencies across the country.
Ahead of the vote, the founder of the party, ex-president Jerry Rawlings has called on delegates to elect committed persons to run the regional branches.
In a statement, the former president said the outcome of the regional elections would go a long way to determine the future of the NDC.
“Delegates from all 275 constituencies will assemble at various designated centers to perform a very important democratic function on behalf of party constituents this weekend. The outcome of these conferences will go a long way in determining the future direction of the party.
“To ensure the consolidation and re-invigoration of our party, I urge delegates to listen to their constituents and elect persons with integrity who genuinely have the party at heart,” Rawlings said.
