He notes that challenges that might hinder the citizenry the freedom to the exercise their franchise have been particularly dealt with.
“The EC is working together with the Ghana Police Service. The Service is primarily in charge of the election security thought force which ensures that all election polling stations are secured.
"Beyond that, we are also assuring the general public that anyone who registered is guaranteed to vote on December 7 because all names have been captured in the register and the EC is fully ready,” he said.
Dr Bossman further said with the hindsight of pockets of violence that characterised the voters' registration exercise, security in and around the polling centres have been reinforced in preparation for the December polls.
