Voter register discrepancies largely resolved- Jean Mensa
The Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Jean Mensa, has revealed that the commission has largely resolved errors in the voter register.
This was during an Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting held at the Alisa Hotel on Tuesday, October 1.
The meeting forms part of efforts to ensure transparency and accountability in Ghana’s electoral processes.
Addressing concerns about the voter register, Jean Mensa noted that it is not final and contains some imperfections, adding that such errors are not uncommon and typically arise from any registration process.
According to her, “These errors are not unusual. All it takes are conscientious efforts to get them resolved.”
She assured political party representatives that the EC has already taken steps to correct the discrepancies identified since the initial release of the voter register.
“You will realize that the voters register for today is different from what was provided to the parties in August.The register that we have today is different from what was given to the political parties in August,” she explained, urging all stakeholders to trust the commission.
“We have a track record of delivering free and fair elections. Our staff are well trained, and we have what it takes to produce a credible register,” Jean Mensa called on all political parties to trust the commission ahead of the December polls.
The meeting was aimed at providing an opportunity to Political Parties to present any findings they may have with the Provisional Voters Register (PVR).
It also afforded the Commission an opportunity to present an updated report on issues it has resolved with the PVR.
