Election 2024: EC Orders Reprint of Ballot Papers for Volta, Ahafo Regions
The Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana has announced that it will reprint ballot papers for the Volta and Ahafo regions for the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections. This decision comes after errors were detected in the serial numbers on the ballot papers ¹.
According to Samuel Tettey, Deputy Chairman in charge of Operations at the EC, the errors affected the integrity of the ballot papers. "The challenge faced by the Commission has been the serialisation of the numbers on the ballot papers," he explained ¹.
The EC had received concerns over the serialisation of the ballot papers for the two regions, prompting an investigation. Upon review, it was decided that the ballot papers would be reprinted to ensure the integrity of the electoral process.
The reprinting of the ballot papers has been assigned to new printing houses, Bulk and Acts Commercials. This move aims to prevent any further errors and ensure that the electoral process runs smoothly.
- _Serial Number Errors_: Errors were detected in the serial numbers on the ballot papers for Volta and Ahafo regions.
- _Reprinting_: The EC has decided to reprint the ballot papers to ensure the integrity of the electoral process.
- _New Printing Houses_: Bulk and Acts Commercials have been assigned to handle the reprinting.
- _Regions Affected_: Volta and Ahafo regions are the only areas affected by the error.
The reprinting of the ballot papers is expected to delay the distribution process. However, the EC has assured that the situation is under control and that measures are being taken to prevent similar errors in the future.
As the country prepares for the 2024 elections, the EC's decision to reprint the ballot papers demonstrates its commitment to ensuring the integrity of the electoral process. The move is seen as a positive step towards maintaining transparency and fairness in the elections.
