Full Statement: EC’s response to NDC on alleged discrepancies in voter’s register

Mrs Jean Mensa, Chairperson, Electoral Commission of Ghana

We write to acknowledge receipt of your petition presented to the Electoral Commission on 17th September, 2024.

The crux of your petition is that the discrepancies you have discovered in the Provisional Voters Register (PVR) make it unfit for the 2024 General Election and therefore you propose that it should be subjected to a forensic audit.

It is important to emphasize that the Register in question is a Provisional Register generated immediately after the registration of voters. It is a draft register. It is not the Final Register.

Regulations 23 and 24 of the Public Elections (Registration of Voters) Regulations, 2016 Constitutional Instrument (C.I.) 91 as amended by C.1.126, enjoin the Commission to display the PVR at all Polling Stations (Exhibition Centres) nationwide to allow for an inspection and revision and correction where necessary.
