The Electoral Commission (EC) has announced that it has released the Provisional Voter Register (PVR) to political parties ahead of the voter register exhibition, on Tuesday, August 20, 2024. This follows intense pressure from political parties and other stakeholders, demanding the provisional voter register for perusal. At a press conference held at the EC headquarters on Monday, August 19, the Deputy Electoral Commissioner, Dr. Bossman Asare, stated that the commission is still within its scheduled timeframe for delivering the provisional register to political parties.
"We have heard in sections of the media that the commission has not given the provisional voter register to the political parties after informing the parties to bring their external drives. We want to place on record that per Regulation 22 of CI 31 as amended by CI 126, the commission is required to give the provisional register to the political parties not later than three months from the end of the registration period.
"As you may be aware, the limited registration ended on May 29, 2024, and the mop-up registration ended on August 3, 2023.
