The Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana has provided assurances that all discrepancies in the 2024 Provisional Voter Register have been fully resolved.
Following a thorough review over the past two weeks, the EC confirmed that any anomalies identified have been corrected, ensuring the integrity of the electoral roll.
This move was in response to concerns raised by the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), which had called for a forensic audit of the register. The NDC had expressed doubts about the accuracy of the initial provisional voter register.
Addressing the issue during a live broadcast at the Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting on Tuesday, October 15, 2024, at the Alisa Hotel in Accra, EC Chairperson Jean Mensa emphasized the Commission’s commitment to ensuring public confidence in the electoral process.
She noted that the EC has worked diligently to rectify the errors, reinforcing the Commission’s dedication to transparency, fairness, and integrity in Ghana’s democratic processes.
Mensa reiterated that the EC remains committed to delivering credible elections, assuring voters that the necessary corrections have been made to guarantee an accurate voter register for the upcoming 2024 general elections.
“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.”
Additionally, she promised to hand over hard drive copies of the voter register to the various political parties including a template to register any discrepancies.
