The Electoral Commission of Ghana (EC) has commended the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for its recommendation to re-exhibit the Provisional Voters Register ahead of the 2024 general elections.
This call by the NDC was aimed at identifying potential discrepancies and enhancing the accuracy of the voters’ roll.
During a live broadcast of the Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting held in Accra on Tuesday, October 15, 2024, EC Chairperson Jean Mensa praised the NDC for championing this initiative, which she described as a significant step toward bolstering transparency in the electoral process.
Mensa stressed that the Commission highly values constructive feedback from political stakeholders and that the NDC’s input played a pivotal role in the decision to re-exhibit the register.
She also reaffirmed the EC’s commitment to producing an accurate and credible voters’ roll, ensuring that the upcoming elections are free, fair, and transparent.
“The re-exhibition of the Provisional Voter Register has never happened before, indeed this is the first time. And it demonstrates that this commission is a listening one, it’s a commission that is open to receiving feedback for the betterment of its stakeholders.
“And we would like to thank the NDC for this idea of re-exhibiting the voters register, it also demonstrates that we’re a transparent commission and that we walk and work with our stakeholders. We are confident with this approach and we believe that we will have a near-perfect final voters register ahead of the 2024 December elections.”
The online re-exhibition will be from Tuesday, October 15 to October 19.
