The Electoral Commission (EC) has destroyed all defective presidential and parliamentary ballot papers printed for the Volta and Ahafo Regions.

The destruction took place on Thursday, November 21, under the supervision of political parties, independent observers, the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB), and the Police Service.

The move follows the EC's announcement, through its Deputy Chair of Operations, Samuel Tettey, that incorrect serial numbers had been identified on the ballot papers for these regions, necessitating their reprinting.
