The Electoral Commission (EC) has urged all stakeholders attending Tuesday’s important Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting to bring evidence and data to support any discrepancies or concerns they may have regarding the Provisional Voter Register (PVR).
This collaborative approach aims to effectively address any outstanding issues with the register.
In a press release issued on Monday, September 30, the EC highlighted that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has not yet submitted data on the alleged discrepancies for which they have requested a forensic audit, despite multiple requests.
The EC anticipates that the NDC and other stakeholders will present their findings at the upcoming IPAC meeting. They reiterated that producing the Final Voter Register is an ongoing process, emphasizing their commitment to working with IPAC to resolve any concerns.
In a related development, the NDC has renewed its demand for live media coverage of the IPAC meeting set for Tuesday, October 1.
Dr. Omane Boamah, the NDC’s Director of IT and Elections, stated in a Facebook post that live coverage would provide Ghanaians with real-time, unbiased information regarding the state of the 2024 voter register following the EC’s self-audit process.
The ongoing back-and-forth between the NDC and the EC centers around alleged discrepancies identified by the NDC in the voter register, with the party continuing to push for a forensic audit. Dr. Boamah emphasized that the discrepancies remain unaddressed and reiterated the necessity for public access to the IPAC discussions in real time.
