Copies Of The New Voters Register Would Be Made Available To All Political Parties By Nov 11 – EC

The EC is hoping that copies of the voters register would be made available to all political parties and candidates by that time.

The Director of Elections at the EC, Dr Serebour Quaicoe said this in a radio interview with Accra based Joy FM on Tuesday evening October 6, 2020.

Last week, the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) for instance raised concerns that the final register was not ready, yet aspirants have been asked to file their nomination forms this week – October 5 to October 9, 2020.

What happens if someone assumed to be a registered voter endorses an aspirant’s nomination forms and it turns out that the said person does not have his name in the final gazetted register, the General Secretary of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketia for instance questioned on a radio interview.

The Coalition of Domestic Election Observers (CODEO) has also urged the EC to ensure that the final voters register is given out to all political parties ahead of time.

Reacting on a radio interview, Dr Serebour Quaicoe said the EC plans to give the voters register out to the political parties one month to the elections.

“We could have even given them out earlier but because we should finish with the transfers and special voters compilation before we can give the votes register out,” he said.
