Voter Register discrepancies rectified, says Electoral Commission
Accra, Ghana - October 15, 2024 - Ghana's Electoral Commission (EC) has announced that it has resolved all discrepancies in the 2024 Provisional Voter Register, following a thorough review over the past two weeks.
This move addresses concerns raised by the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), which had called for a forensic audit of the register due to doubts about its accuracy.
EC Chairperson Jean Mensa assured the public of the Commission's commitment to transparency, fairness, and integrity in Ghana's democratic processes during a live broadcast at the Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting on October 15, 2024.
Mensa stated that the EC has worked diligently to rectify errors, ensuring the integrity of the electoral roll.
“Over the last two weeks, we have spent our energies to clean the voter register and to ensure that the information presented is accurate. Simply put, we have worked to ensure that every applicant who registered in 2023/2024 is on the voter register.
“We are confident that the revised Provisional Voter Register that we present starting today is a marked departure from the register we presented during the exhibition exercise.
“Largely, all discrepancies identified to date have been fixed, as we promised, during our last meeting starting today, October 15, to October 19, all registered voters will have a second opportunity to review their details online and report anything they find in our district offices.”
