Election 2024: EC publishes ballot statistics to guide printing

The Electoral Commission of Ghana has published the ballot statistics to guide the printing of the Presidential and Parliamentary Elections Ballots ahead of the 2024 General Election.

 In a statement issued today, October 14, 2024, the Commission stated that “In arriving at the ballot statistics, the Commission took into account the total number of voters on the 2024 Provisional Voters Register (PVR) plus a two percent increase.”

“While the Commission welcomes and encourages a total voter turnout on Election Day, it also recognizes that not every registered voter will vote in the 2024 General Election,” the statement added.

According to them, “The Commission is confident that the methodology relied upon, that is utilizing the total number of voters on the PVR plus a two percent increase to guide the printing of ballots, is adequate and will not result in shortfalls or unnecessary wastage.”

“This methodology of adding a percentage increase has been used by the Commission to guide the printing of ballots since 1992.We entreat the Public to trust us to deliver on our mandate. Thank you,” the statement concluded.
