An advocacy group, Election Watch Ghana, gathered at the headquarters of the Electoral Commission (EC) on Monday, August 19, demanding the immediate release of the Provisional Voter Register to political parties.

This action comes in response to the EC’s delay in publishing the provisional voter register, which is a requirement under the Constitutional Instrument (CI) governing the 2024 elections.

Despite earlier assurances from the EC, the delay has sparked significant concern, particularly among the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) and other stakeholders in the upcoming general elections.

Speaking to the media outside the EC headquarters, Mark Ewusi, the Convenor of Election Watch Ghana, stated that the delay is undermining the transparency and integrity of the electoral process.

He emphasized that the EC’s actions could potentially mar the integrity of the December 7 general elections.

The NDC has also expressed its dissatisfaction with the EC’s delay in releasing the provisional voter register.
