The Movement for Change (M4C) and the Alliance for Revolutionary Change have expressed their support for a forensic audit of the voter register conducted by the Electoral Commission (EC).
In a letter signed by M4C’s Director of Elections Planning and Coordination, Nana Ohene-Ntow, she emphasised the need to establish a high-level Technical Working Group (TWG) chaired by the EC to oversee the audit from September 30 to October 11.
The letter proposed that the TWG include representatives from candidates cleared to contest the general elections and consultants responsible for managing EC data.
This group will develop procedures for a comprehensive audit of the current voter register, using key source documents such as the final 2020 voter register, limited registration information since 2021, voter transfers since 2021, and special voter lists from 2020 to the present.
Moreover, each TWG member should access the original source documents to verify their accuracy. Thus, candidates with documented evidence of any compromised data in the current voter register must present this information to all TWG members before the audit begins.
The final results of this collaborative process will determine the official voter register for the 2024 general elections.
