Jean Mensa, Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC), says the revised Provisional Voters Register (PVR) is “a marked departure from the register we presented during the exhibition exercise as largely all the discrepancies presented to date have been fixed.”
Speaking at the Tuesday, October 15, 2024, Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting in Accra, she noted that the commission had worked in the last weeks to ensure that the information presented in the register was accurate.
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) had been pressing the EC, demanding a forensic audit of the voters register due to discrepancies and anomalies. However, the EC assured that it was on course to reverse these discrepancies.
The EC Chairperson noted, “Over the last two weeks we have spent our energies to clean the PVR to ensure the information presented on the register is accurate. Simply put, we have worked to ensure that every applicant who registered in 2020, 2023, and 2024 are in the voters register.”
“We are confident that the revised PVR that we present starting today is a marked departure from the register we presented during the exhibition exercise as largely all the discrepancies presented to date have been fixed.”
She stressed that the revised PVR has been exhibited online at no cost to voters starting today to Saturday, October 19, 2024.
Mensa said that soft copies of the revised PVR on hard drives would be made available to political parties and independent candidates.
She emphasised that this was the first time the PVR is being re-exhibited, showing that the Commission was transparent and a listening Commission.
