These errors are not unusual

The Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Jean Mensa, has said that the Commission has largely resolved errors in the voter register.

Addressing concerns about the voter register during an Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting on Tuesday, October 1, 2024, she acknowledged that while the voters register contains some errors, they are not uncommon as they typically arise from registration processes.

“These errors are not unusual. All it takes are conscientious efforts to get them resolved,” she noted.

She said the EC has already taken steps to correct the discrepancies identified since the initial release of the voter register.

“You will realise 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. 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,” she added.

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has raised concerns about the integrity of the provisional register for the 2024 general elections and has called for an independent forensic audit of the register.
