The Electoral Commission (EC) has assured that they provide ballot statistics to the Candidates / Political Parties and all Printing Houses before the printing of ballot papers starts.
The commission noted that this has been the practice over the years and hence will not deviate from it.
The commission said it had taken note of some statements in the public domain to the effect that the Commission has not provided ballot statistics ahead of the printing of ballot papers for the 2024 Presidential and Parliamentary Elections.
“We would like to assure the General Public that printing of ballot papers has not commenced. Printing of Notices of Polls for the 2024 Presidential and Parliamentary Elections, however, begins on Friday, 11th October 2024,” a statement issued by the commission said.
“As has always been the case, the Commission will provide ballot statistics to the Candidates / Political Parties and all Printing Houses before the printing of ballot papers starts.
“Printing of ballot papers will only commence after ballot statistics have been provided to all Stakeholders. The Commission will not depart from this practice. We urge the Public and all Stakeholders to trust the Electoral Commission to deliver a transparent, credible, free and fair election in December 2024,” it said.
