The Electoral Commission (EC) has revised its prior directive that limited media access to constituency and regional collation centres.
According to a Commission statement, the directive has been revoked as a result of internal debates and conversations with major media stakeholders.
Media persons assigned photo accreditation to cover polling stations can now utilise the same accreditation to get access to constituency and regional collation centres.
“From Saturday, 7th December, 2024, media persons can access Constituency and Regional Collation Centres using their photo accreditation cards issued by the EC.”
The statement assured Ghanaians that it remains committed to transparency and accountability in the upcoming elections.
The EC said the revised accreditation system is designed to provide media professionals with greater access and flexibility during the electoral process.
“The EC is desirous to maintain the highest level of transparency and accountability in its operations. The revised media accreditation aims to provide media personnel with greater flexibility and access to key Election Centres.
“This commitment is to ensure that the media can effectively cover the electoral process, and this change reflects that commitment.”
