The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has called for an emergency meeting with the Electoral Commission (EC) to address critical concerns over discrepancies found in the ongoing 2024 voter exhibition exercise.
In a letter signed by NDC General Secretary Fifi Kwetey, the party highlighted “very serious discrepancies” in the provisional voter register, which they believe require immediate attention to ensure the integrity of the electoral process.
The 2024 voter exhibition exercise, which began on Tuesday, August 20, and is scheduled to conclude on Tuesday, August 27, is a critical step in preparing the final voter register for the upcoming general elections.
As part of this process, political parties and stakeholders are granted access to the provisional voter register to review and address any issues before the final version is produced.
The opposition party is concerned that without swift intervention, these inconsistencies could undermine the credibility of the electoral process.
The EC had earlier announced the release of the 2024 provisional voter register to political parties on August 19, following mounting pressure from various political actors and stakeholders who had insisted on timely access to the document for review.
The exercise is intended to provide an opportunity for corrections, such as name spelling, omissions, and other potential errors before the final voter register is produced.
