The Election Commission (EC) has firmly dismissed claims made in two circulating social media videos, which falsely accuse the Commission of registering voters and conducting a Transfer of Votes exercise.

The Commission categorically stated that both allegations are completely false and appear to be deliberate attempts to damage its reputation and sow distrust ahead of the December 2024 General Election.

"The Commission states categorically that both allegations are FALSE," the official statement declared.

The Commission emphasized that the 2024 Limited Voter Registration Exercise was concluded on May 29, 2024, and the Application for the Transfer of Votes ended on June 14, 2024.

The process was briefly reopened from July 3 to July 5, 2024, specifically for students in public universities, prisoners, and security personnel.

All Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) kits used during this period were deactivated after the exercise, making it impossible for them to be used for any further voter registration or transfers.

"Indeed, all the Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) kits used for the Transfer for students were deactivated after the Exercise. Therefore, they could not have been used to register voters or undertake transfers as alleged by the two in the video."

The Commission criticized the lack of evidence in the videos, noting that there were no images of registration kits, materials, or any Election Commission officials involved in the purported activities.

"Surprisingly, the persons making the allegations in the videos provided no evidence. The videos do not show images of registration kits or materials used for the purported Exercise. Neither was any EC Official seen in the video," the statement read.

The Commission called these allegations "dangerous to our democratic process" and urged the public to disregard them.

Additionally, the Commission called on the Ghana Police Service to urgently arrest and prosecute those responsible for the false claims.

"We call on the Ghana Police Service to arrest and prosecute those behind these fabrications as a matter of urgency."

Furthermore, the Commission appealed to all stakeholders, particularly political parties, to refrain from spreading false information that could undermine state institutions and disrupt national peace and stability.

"We urge all stakeholders, especially the Political Parties, to avoid propagating falsehood which has the potential of undermining state institutions and destroying the peace and stability of our nation."
