voters’ register

The Electoral Commission (EC) has confirmed that the certified voters’ register for the upcoming 2024 general elections will be ready by the first week of November.

This was revealed by EC Chairperson, Jean Mensa, during an Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting on Tuesday, 15 October 2024.

The EC Chairperson reassured political parties and stakeholders that the Commission is committed to delivering a comprehensive and accurate voters’ register.

She explained that the register would include eligible voters from the registration exercises conducted in 2020, 2023, and 2024.

"Over the last two weeks, we have spent our energies to clean the provisional voter register to ensure the information presented is accurate.

"Simply put, we have worked to ensure that every applicant who registered in 2020, 2023, and 2024 is in the voters’ register," Mrs. Mensa stated.

She further emphasised that the revised register to be presented in the coming days would reflect these corrections.

"We are confident that the revised provisional voter register that we present starting today is a marked departure from the register we presented during the exhibition exercise, as largely all the discrepancies have been fixed," the EC Chairperson added.
