Jean Mensa<\/strong><\/p>\nThe Electoral Commission (EC) has assured the public that there is no cause for alarm regarding data entry errors\u00a0that have occurred\u00a0in the ongoing limited voter registration exercise across the country.<\/p>\n
According to the Commission, the phenomenon is not unusual and that voters will have the opportunity to review and correct any errors with their registration details between Monday, July 15 and Wednesday, July 24, 2024.<\/p>\n
In a statement issued yesterday and signed by Michael Boadu, Acting Director of Public Affairs, the Commission stated that it had been alerted to a new voter ID card circulating on social media that indicated the bearer of the card registered in Kasoa in the Central Region, but gave his district as Ayawaso North in the Greater Accra Region.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur investigations have revealed that this was a result of an error by the Data Entry Clerk,\u201d the EC said.<\/p>\n
It added, \u201cThis phenomenon is not unusual. It is for this reason that the law makes provision for voters to correct any errors with their data during the voters\u2019 exhibition exercise.\u201d<\/p>\n
The statement continued, \u201cFrom Monday July 15 to Wednesday, July 24, 2024, voters will have the opportunity to review and correct any errors with their registration details.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Commission urged Ghanaians to be steadfast and put their confidence in it to carry out its mandate.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe entreat citizens to remain steadfast and repose their confidence and trust in the Commission to deliver on its mandate,\u201d the statement stressed.<\/p>\n
Payments to Temporary Officials<\/strong><\/p>\nMeanwhile, the EC has indicated that it has paid almost all the temporary officials who worked for the Commission during the District Level Elections held in December 2023.<\/p>\n
According to the Commission, 116,211 temporary staff have been paid GH\u00a269,164,842.11, pointing out that only 47 of the temporary officials, who are due GH\u00a224,263.16, are yet to be paid.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Commission is modernising its recruitment process for temporary employees, by digitising its data collection systems,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n
It explained that this initiative would enhance and improve the payment methods for all temporary employees of the Commission and prevent delays.<\/p>\n
\u201cAdditionally, the digital system will help streamline administrative procedures, reduce paperwork and ensure the accuracy and security of data.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis approach is a significant step towards optimising operational efficiency and resource management within the Commission. With this modernisation, current and future temporary staff of the EC should expect to be paid on time,\u201d the EC said.<\/p>\n
