NDC urges vigilance over alleged voter transfer discrepancies

The Director of Elections and IT for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dr. Edward Omane Boamah has raised concerns over the Electoral Commission (EC) head office's presentation of names of voters who are said to have transferred their votes across various districts.

In an internal communication to EC officers, he said the EC had asked all district offices to cross-check the provided names against their own Form 1C or transfer request forms.

''Any names found not to be originating from their offices should be identified, as this could account for the discrepancies noted in the voter transfer process.

Officers were urged to complete this review using a specific template and submit their findings to the regional office by 10:00 a.m. to meet the deadline set by the head office.

All should endeavour to meet the deadline''.

Thank you and blessed Sunday, he said the memo from the head office concluded

The NDC has been vocal in its call for the Electoral Commission to re-exhibit its "corrected" Provisional Voter Register (PVR) at all polling stations to ensure accuracy and transparency in the electoral process.

He stressed that vigilance is essential in overseeing the activities of the EC and the New Patriotic Party (NPP), encouraging members to keep a close watch on any developments.

The NDC's demand for re-exhibition of the voter register comes amidst heightened scrutiny and a commitment to ensuring that the electoral process remains free, fair, and transparent.

The party maintains that any inconsistencies in the voter transfer process must be promptly addressed to safeguard the integrity of the upcoming elections.

The NDC will continue to keep a vigilant "Eagle Eye" on the actions of both the EC and the NPP, reinforcing its stance on electoral fairness and accuracy, he concluded.
