Voters register is credible, ignore assertions that it’s not fit for 2024 elections – EC

The Electoral Commission (EC) has indicated that the electoral roll for the elections this year is robust and credible.

The Commission called on the general public to ignore assertions that the register is not fit for the 2024 elections.

“The 2024 voters register is robust and credible, ignore assertions that the voter register is not fit for the 2024 elections,” the Commission posted on its X platform.

This was after the National Democratic Congress (NDC) called for a forensic audit or parliamentary investigation of the voter register.

Director of Elections and IT for the main opposition party, Dr. Edward Omane-Boamah on Wednesday, August 28, 2024 said that without a forensic audit or parliamentary investigation of the voters register, the register remains incurably defective.

“The Electoral Commission of Ghana refused to release the voters’ register to the NDC on time ahead of the exhibition exercise,” it said.

The Electoral Commission began the exhibition of voters’ register last week for electorates to crosscheck their details if there were any corrections that needed to be made.

Prior to the exercise, the NDC had called for the voters’ register to be released to them to allow their agents make a comparison with what was given them and what the Commission was exhibiting.

But the full register was made available to the parties a day to the exercise, aside from the daily updates that were supplied to them during the voter registration exercise and the mop up that followed.

The exercise began on August 22 and ended on Tuesday, August 27 with a very low turnout.

But Dr Omane Boamah said that “It’s obvious the register has deliberately been tampered with!”
