But as we speak now, they don\u2019t have it. They haven\u2019t given us. They have not also given us ballot statistics. Ballot statistics will emanate from the voters\u2019 code book of the register but we don\u2019t have that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow come we are going ahead to print ballot papers? On which figures are they going to use to print the ballot papers? We have written back to them, indicating our position on that, although we have a meeting with them to discuss some of the processes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will send a letter to them that look, you cannot proceed with the printing of the ballot papers if we don\u2019t have the statistics and then the voter code books of each of the regions, we will not accept that kind of thing but if they want to go ahead with the printing of the notices of polls, we have no difficulties with that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>#GhanaPolls2024<\/strong><\/em><br \/><em><strong>#ElectionBureau<\/strong><\/em><br \/><em><strong>#CitiVerify\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU: https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National Democratic Congress (NDC) is set to meet with the Electoral Commission (EC) today, Thursday, October 10 regarding plans to start printing notices of poll and ballot papers on Friday, October 11.
