The Electoral Commission (EC) has assured the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and other relevant stakeholders of its commitment to producing a credible and robust voters register.

Responding after receiving a petition submitted by the leadership of the NDC after its ‘Enough is Enough’ protest on Tuesday, September 17, the Deputy Chairman in charge of Operations at the EC, Samuel Tettey, stressed in a signed statement that processes towards producing a final voters register are still in their early stages.

The EC indicated that it is “mindful that the Voters Register is the bedrock of credible, fair and transparent elections” and therefore remains committed to producing a robust voters register ahead of the December 7 general elections.

The NDC and its regional offices protested against the EC on Tuesday, demanding that a forensic audit be conducted on the voters register over some discrepancies the leadership of the party says were uncovered when it took delivery of the provisional voters register.

The NDC, among other things, claims there are well over 243,000 illegal names on the transferred list alone which must be investigated.

The Electoral Commission has received the petition submitted by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) at the end of their demonstration on Tuesday, 17th September, 2024.

The Commission will review the petition and provide its response in the coming days.

The Commission wishes to assure the General Public that the process of producing the Final Register is in its early stages.

The Commission is mindful that the Voters Register is the bedrock of credible, fair and transparent Elections.

We assure the NDC and all Stakeholders of our avowed commitment to delivering a credible and robust Final Register ahead of the December 2024 Elections.
