The Electoral Commission has said that although the Commission is not required by law to provide statistics of the Voters Register Lists that were given to the Political Parties in soft copies, on Wednesday it granted the request by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the spirit of responsiveness.
This was made known after the Commission on Wednesday, 6th November, 2024 provided all registered Political Parties and Independent Presidential Candidates with the soft copies of the Certified Voters Register, in accordance with Sub-Regulation 4 of Regulation 27 of Constitutional Instrument (C.I.) 91.
The soft copies which were presented to the Political Parties on external hard drives contained the Valid Voters Register, the Exceptions List, the Multiples List, the Transferred Voters List, the Absent Voters List, the Manual Verification List, the Proxy Voters List and the Special Voters List.
At the meeting, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) requested for the summary of the above Lists.
Although the Commission said it is not required by law to provide statistics of the various lists to parties, in the spirit of responsiveness, it granted the request by the NDC.
The Commission added that in order to enhance transparency and accountability, it took the time to generate the summaries requested on Regional basis.
Reacting to questions from the media and other Stakeholders as to why the summaries were not added to the soft copies that were given to the parties, the EC noted that since 1992, the Electoral Commission has always provided only the soft copies of the Certified Voters Register to the Political Parties without the breakdown of statistics requested by the NDC.
