EC IS READY FOR DECEMBER 2 SPECIAL VOTING EXERCISE – Jean Mensa

The Ghanaian Electoral Commission (EC) has affirmed its preparedness for the special voting event scheduled for December 2, 2024.

EC Chairperson Jean Mensa confirmed that everything is ready, including the nationwide distribution of the Voters’ Register and ballot papers.

During a meeting with the National Election Security Taskforce (NESTF) on Tuesday, 26th November, she highlighted that the Commission had finished various preparations for the upcoming election, such as distributing the Voters’ Register across the country.

We are also near completion with our ballots, the preparation of our ballots for the presidential and parliamentary elections, and all the ballots, with the exception of the Northern Region, the Bono Region, and the Bono East Region, have been disseminated to our police armories across the country. I’m well aware that the ballot papers for the Northern Region, the Bono Region, and Bono East Region will be disseminated to the police armories.

Mrs Mensa stated that the process of distributing presidential and parliamentary ballot papers across the country would finish on 26th November.

We are confident that by this weekend all the biometric verification devices will be safely lodged in the police armories across the country. The biometric verification devices have been sent to over eight regional armories and they are in safekeeping.

The EC Chair further highlighted that the Commission had recruited nearly 210,000 temporary officials, including returning officers, deputy returning officers, presiding officers, and polling assistants, across all over 40,900 polling stations in the country.

We are confident that we’ll have a successful special voting arrangement on Monday, 2nd December. Our officials are in readiness. We have an adequate supply of the ballot papers, indelible ink, and the biometric verification devices are also in place to ensure a smooth and seamless special voting exercise come Monday, 2nd December 2024.
