EC Chairperson Jean Mensa emphasised the Commission’s diligent efforts to fix errors, reinforcing its commitment to transparency, fairness, and integrity, all aimed at delivering an accurate register for the 2024 general elections.

“We have spent the last two weeks cleaning the voter register to ensure accuracy.The EC has included every applicant who registered in 2023/2024.Further, from October 15 to 19, registered voters will be able to review their details online and report any discrepancies to district offices.

Moreover, Jean also assured political parties that they would receive hard copies of the voter register, along with a template to record any additional concerns.

This move follows concerns raised by political parties which had called for a forensic audit of the register due to doubts over its initial accuracy.
