The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has acknowledged the Electoral Commission’s (EC) commitment to providing an updated version of the 2024 Provisional Voters’ Register.
This decision was made following a significant Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting held on October 1, 2024, where concerns about the credibility of the current voters’ register were discussed.
At the meeting, the EC acknowledged various issues, such as the unauthorized transfer of voters, inaccuracies in the transfer list, data corruption in the register, and a fragile IT system that could be easily manipulated.
The NDC appreciates the EC’s transparency in addressing these concerns and looks forward to the release of the updated voters’ register to ensure a fair and transparent electoral process.
Despite these challenges, the EC promised to rectify the errors and provide political parties with an updated version of the voters’ register for further scrutiny within a week.
The NDC, while expressing concerns over the EC’s vulnerabilities, welcomed the decision to re-exhibit the updated voters’ register.
They recommended that the re-exhibition be conducted both online and offline to ensure wider access and transparency.
The party also called for a multi-stakeholder review of the EC’s IT system to prevent potential manipulation and safeguard the integrity of the December 7, 2024, elections.
