TO: ALL MEDIA HOUSES
DATE: 9TH OCTOBER, 2024
SHORT NOTICE FROM THE EC TO POLITICAL PARTIES ON THE PRINTING OF BALLOT MATERIALS
The African Electoral Institute has seen the Electoral Commission of Ghana’s formal notification dated 9th October, 2024 to all political parties that the printing of Notice of Poll and Ballot Papers for the 2024 General Election will commence on Friday, October 11, 2024.
African Electoral Institute reckon that the notice is very short,but we urge all political parties to quickly brace up for the task and deploy knowledgeable, dedicated agents to secure their fortune.
It is the African Electoral Institute’s take that the EC should have waited for the completion of the second voter register exhibition before embarking on this important exercise.
However, the African Electoral Institute urges the Electoral Commission to verify and ensure the precision of voter data during the printing of ballot papers to avoid discrepancies and blatant errors.
