“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.
