The Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana has applauded the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for recommending the re-exhibition of the Provisional Voters Register ahead of the 2024 general elections.

This initiative was aimed at addressing any potential discrepancies and ensuring the accuracy of the voters’ roll.

During an Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting held in Accra on Tuesday, October 15, 2024, EC Chairperson Jean Mensa acknowledged the NDC's efforts.

She highlighted that the party's recommendation was a significant step toward promoting transparency and confidence in the electoral process.

Madam Mensa stressed the importance of constructive feedback from political parties, noting that the NDC’s input contributed to the Commission’s decision to re-exhibit the Provisional Voters Register.

She commended the party for its active involvement in strengthening the electoral system.

The EC Chairperson reiterated the Commission's commitment to collaborating with all political stakeholders to ensure a credible election in 2024, underscoring that the re-exhibition would help safeguard the integrity of the voter registration process.

“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 voter's 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.”
