The Electoral Commission (EC) has denied allegations by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) that it will start printing of ballot papers from October 10, for the upcoming 2024 general elections.
In a statement issued on Thursday, October 10, 2024, the EC revealed that it only will start printing of the notice of poll.
The EC said, “We would like to assure the General Public that printing of ballot papers has not commenced. Printing of Notices of Poll for the 2024 Presidential and Parliamentary Elections, however, begins on Friday, 11th October, 2024”.
“As has always been the case, the Commission will provide ballot statistics to Candidates/ Political Parties and all Printing Houses before the printing of ballot papers starts. Printing of ballot papers will only commence after ballot statistics have been provided to all Stakeholders. The Commission will not depart from this practice” part of the press release read.
The EC assured Ghanaians of its commitment to being transparent and execute a free and fair election.
The EC added, “We urge the Public and all Stakeholders to trust the Electoral Commission to deliver transparent, credible, free and fair elections in December 2024”.
