The Ghana Electoral Commission (EC) has publicly addressed and denied allegations of printing excess ballot papers for the 2024 general elections.
Speaking at the launch of the National Peace Campaign on Sunday, November 3, the Deputy Chairman of Operations, Samuel Tettey, reaffirmed the Commission’s commitment to transparency and integrity throughout the electoral process.
Tettey assured the public that all stages of the ballot paper production process are rigorously monitored to prevent irregularities.
He highlighted that any surplus ballots generated during printing are systematically destroyed in the presence of political party representatives, underscoring the EC’s dedication to a transparent and accountable election process.
This assurance is part of the EC’s ongoing efforts to build public trust in Ghana’s electoral system.
Tettey reiterated the Commission’s commitment to conducting a peaceful, credible election and emphasized the importance of upholding democratic principles as Ghana approaches this pivotal election.
