On Tuesday, 15 October 2024, the Electoral Commission (EC) announced that it will re-exhibit the Voters Register for the upcoming elections, a move aimed at promoting transparency and encouraging feedback from political parties.
The Chairperson of the EC, Madam Jean Mensa reiterated that this proactive move was critical in promoting transparency and confidence in the 2024 electoral process. The Chairperson stressed on the need for constructive feedback from political parties, commending the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for recommending the re-exhibition of the Provisional Voters Register, which she indicated led to the commission’s decision to re-exhibit the register online.
“The re-exhibition of the Provisional Voters Register has never happened before; indeed, this is the first time. It demonstrates that this commission is a listening one. This is 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 demonstrate that we are a transparent commission and that we walk and work with our stakeholders”, the EC Chairperson stated.
She also added that the EC is confident with the approach and believes that they will achieve a near-perfect final voters register ahead of the 2024 December presidential and parliamentary elections.
