Chairperson of the Electoral Commission of Ghana, Jean Mensa has said the Commission has sanitized the voters\u2019 register for the 2024 general elections.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During her opening remarks at Tuesday\u2019s IPAC meetingon October 1, Jean Mensa noted that the Commission has recently cleaned up errors detected in the voters\u2019 register.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the EC, the current voters\u2019 register is more accurate than the one used for the voter\u2019s exhibition in early August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs a commission we have devoted the last few weeks to correct the discrepancies and you will find that the provisional voters\u2019 register today is different and more accurate than what was exhibited and provided to the parties in August 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe discrepancies detected to date has been largely corrected and the register that was presented to parties in early August is very different from what we have today,\u201d Jean Mensa stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She described as untrue the assertions that the EC is deliberately attempting to disenfranchise some voters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Commission said the IPAC meeting forms part of a transparent electoral process ahead of the 2024 general elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the EC, the meeting aims to provide an opportunity for Political Parties to present any findings they may have with the Provisional Voters Register (PVR).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The meeting comes at the back of concerns raised by the NDC for a forensic audit of the voters\u2019 register due to alleged discrepancies the party says it has detected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although, the NDC has petitioned the EC on the matter, the Commission urged the party to allow it clean-up its register before any demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Tuesday, October 1, the EC Chairperson described the call for a forensic audit of the voters\u2019 register as \u201cpremature\u201d after she announced that errors detected in the register have been corrected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
