The Electoral Commission (EC) will today, Tuesday, October 1, 2024, convene an Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting with political parties and other stakeholders on matters regarding the Voters’ Register for the 2024 General Election.
The Commission has therefore asked the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) and any other political party with evidence of discrepancies in the register to submit it at the meeting for discussion.
The parties are to submit two representatives at the meeting, and one of the representatives should be a technical professional.
The EC has also approved the request by the NDC to have the media participate in the meeting to ensure transparency.
The electoral body has consistently maintained that it has corrected all the errors identified, but the NDC has assured Ghanaians that they will provide a credible register for the 2024 general elections.
Deputy EC Chairperson Dr Bossman Asare, speaking during the Newsfile panel discussion on Saturday, disclosed that the meeting will focus entirely on the 2024 voter register.
“We’re holding a one-item agenda meeting under IPAC on Tuesday. Parties, CSOs, and donor partners who attend IPAC meetings will be present to discuss the state of the 2024 voter register. This meeting aims to ensure transparency and address concerns regarding the exhibition process and recent updates,” Dr. Asare said.
“The register is a living document, and we’re working with all stakeholders to ensure it is accurate and credible for the upcoming election,” Dr. Asare added.
