Special voting for the Western and Eastern Regions is being held today, December 5, following a postponement from the original date of December 2.

The Electoral Commission (EC) rescheduled the exercise after a leakage of ballot papers was detected in the two regions, prompting swift action to safeguard the credibility of the election process.

The EC ordered a recall and reprinting of the ballot papers for the affected regions.

The Commission's Chairperson, Jean Mensa, announced this decision during an emergency news conference on Sunday, 1st December.
