The Electoral Commission (EC) has assured the public of its commitment to transparency and accountability in the upcoming polls.

This follows reports of ballot paper shortfalls in the Bono and Volta Regions ahead of the December 7 elections.

The Commission clarified that the discrepancies were discovered by its regional staff during routine verification processes, a standard measure to ensure accuracy in the printing and distribution of ballot papers.

In a memo addressed to political parties and printing houses, the EC outlined that this additional verification process is a crucial step to identify and correct any issues before Election Day.
