Dr. Afari Gyan – Electoral Commissioner<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Electoral Commission (EC) has made it clear that electronic voting (e-voting) will not be applicable in the 2012 general election because the time is not yet appropriate for that system.<\/p>\n

It, however, indicated that it would most likely use a biometric register for the conduct of Election 2012.<\/p>\n

The Deputy Chairman (Finance) of the EC Mr David Adenze Kanga made this known to the Daily Graphic in Accra yesterday after a meeting with the leadership of the four political parties with representation in Parliament.<\/p>\n

He said there was the need for the nation to hasten slowly with respect to e-voting.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor electronic voting, we are not going to be there in 2012. Our own view is that we should encourage corporate bodies and institutions to begin to use e-voting for their own internal elections so that people will get use to e-voting such that by the time the commission is ready and when we go national, people would have appreciated the difficulties of e-voting, if there are any,\u201d he submitted.<\/p>\n

Mr Kanga said, that was very important because when e-voting was used suddenly, there might be some misunderstanding at the end of the elections and some people might not accept the results.<\/p>\n

He said biometric registration would go on, so that by next year there would be a new biometric register for the conduct of the 2012 general election.<\/p>\n

Mr Kanga was speaking at a meeting which afforded officials of the EC and all the major political parties in the country.<\/p>\n
