EC Chairperson’s Address to IPAC
Addressing IPAC, the Chairperson of the Commission, Mrs. Jean Mensa, highlighted the following:
- The revised PVR has been exhibited online at no cost to voters
- Soft copies of the revised PVR on hard drives were made available to political parties and independent candidates during the IPAC meeting
- The revised PVR is marked improvement on the PVR presented during the August 2024 Exhibition Exercise
- Parties will be given a template to document and report discrepancies in the revised PVR
- This is the first time the PVR is being re-exhibited
- This shows that the Commission is transparent and a listening Commission
- The Commission thanks the NDC for raising issues with the PVR, and this also shows that the Commission is committed to transparency
- Voters are encouraged to check their details free of charge via the short code *711*51#
- Voters can also check their details from our website: https://ec.gov.gh. Voters should click on the pop-up link at the bottom-right corner of the screen and enter the 10-digit Voter ID number to receive their voter registration details.
- The Public should note that any discrepancies identified must be reported to the District Office of the Commission where they are registered voters for correction. Once the Re-Exhibition Exercise ends on Saturday, 19th October, voters will still be able to check their details online but CANNOT request for correction of their details.
- List of Polling Stations has been provided to the Political Parties. There are 40,647 Polling Stations and 328 Special Voters
- Ballot statistics has also been provided to the Political Parties. The Commission adopted the approach of using the number of voters on the PVR plus 2% to ensure we have adequate number of ballot papers on Election Day.
