The Electoral Commission (EC) is strengthening its commitment to an error-free electoral process to foster public trust and uphold democratic values.
To enhance operational efficiency and reliability, the EC has launched a recruitment drive that has added over 200 experts in mathematics, statistics, and other quantitative fields to its ranks.
This strategic move is aimed at bolstering the accuracy and credibility of election results.
In a media interview on Tuesday, November 5, Dr. Eric Bossman Asare, Deputy Chairperson of the EC, shared insights into the Commission’s preparations.
He highlighted the importance of transparency and accuracy, stressing the EC’s resolve to prevent any errors that might affect public confidence.
Dr. Asare noted that the newly recruited professionals bring essential analytical skills to the team, aiding in data collation, vote tabulation, and statistical analysis—all vital for a dependable electoral process.
“The Commission has already recruited over 280,000 individuals who are going to work on this election. We have also recruited people who are going to help with the collation.
“These are people who have a background in mathematics, actuarial science, and statistics and will be assisting with quantitative methods. So they are going to assist the returning officers at the constituency level.”
