Revised Provisional Voters Register will be uploaded in two weeks not in a week – EC to NDC

Reports that the Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting on Tuesday, October 1 resulted in a decision to issue an updated version of the voter register for 2024 within a week have been refuted by the Electoral Commission (EC).

The Election Commission (EC) refuted claims made by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in a statement dated October 8 and signed by Samuel Tettey, Deputy Chairperson in charge of operations. The NDC claimed that the election management body had promised to make the revised register available following meetings with all political parties running in the polls on December 7.

Following the IPAC meeting on Tuesday, NDC said that “the Functional Executive Committee of the NDC has deliberated and decided to accept the EC’s promise to release to political parties, the corrected/updated version of the 2024 Provisional Voters Register for scrutiny within one week.”

But the EC on Tuesday, clarified that its chairperson, Jean Mensa, rather said it “would provide the Political Parties with the revised PVR and upload it online within two (2) weeks or earlier. Nowhere in her statement did the Chairperson indicate that the revised PVR would be made available within a week.”

During the live IPAC meeting, the EC Chairperson stated for the record that the Commission will give the Political Parties the updated PVR and post it online in no more than two (2) weeks.

“Nowhere in her statement did the Chairperson indicate that the revised PVR would be made available within a week.”
