The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has alleged that the current voter register cannot be used for the December 7 polls.
The party claims the register is fraught with mistakes and irregularities.
The NDC on Tuesday, August 27, 2024, wrote to the EC demanding an emergency meeting so they will discuss the alleged discrepancies it found in the provisional register provided to political parties during the exhibition exercise.
The Deputy Director of Elections and IT, Dr. Rashid Tanko Computer, who made the claim, indicated that the voter register cannot be used for the elections.
“There is more to it than what we are thinking. In fact, the register, as we speak now, is completely sick. It cannot be used for any purpose whatsoever, because you can have some consequences where you have the data completely quadrupled.
“There is no polling station that is going to have more than 700 [voters]. But you can have a polling station where you have a register reporting a transfer of more than 1,000 [voters]. It doesn’t make sense. There is something wrong with it [the voters’ register].”
