The Electoral Commission (EC) is not anticipating any shortage of election materials and equipment in any part of the country during the December 7 elections, the EC chairperson Jean Mensa has said.
Addressing what she termed as her last engagement with the media before the 2024 election day on December 7, 2024, the EC chairperson, said the commission had distributed all materials and equipment to the regions in adequate quantities.
She added that “we don’t anticipate any shortage in any part of the country”.
She said 18,774,159 registered voters representing 55 per cent of the total population will be participating in the December 7 elections.
Giving an update on the special voting she said the exercise was not only successful but it recorded high voter turnout with the lowest turnout being 83 per cent.
On media accreditation, she said the commission had provided accreditation of close to 10,000 to the media to enable the media to have access to polling stations, constituency and regional collation centres.
She, therefore urged journalists to use the lenses and platforms and pens to inform citizens and to provide them with facts and truth.
“Rise to the task and cover elections accurately and truthfully,” she said.
On observers, she said the Commission had provided accreditation to over 20,000 local and international observers.
In addition to that, Mrs Mensa said the observers have also been provided with maps to be able to locate the various polling centres.
