In a significant step towards ensuring transparency and credibility in the upcoming December 7 elections, the Electoral Commission (EC) has engaged the diplomatic community on the revised provisional voter register.
The meeting, which took place on Thursday, October 10, provided an opportunity for the EC to brief participants on various aspects of election materials, including procedures for redress, timelines for printing notices of poll and ballot papers, and the voters’ register.
EC Chairperson, Jean Mensa emphasized the commission’s commitment to delivering a trustworthy, free, and fair election whose outcome will be accepted by all.
This engagement comes amidst preparations for the 2024 elections, with the EC aiming to enhance the electoral process’s integrity and accountability.
