Samuel Tettey, Deputy Chairman, Operations said this in a statement The Electoral Commission (EC) has explained why a stolen Biometric Verification Device (BVD) cannot jeopardise the integrity of the 2024 Elections. The commission says it undertakes a deliberate process of preparing a BVD for any election that ensures that only BVDs that are prepared for a particular election can be used for that election. This process is robust and is not vulnerable to manipulation, the EC said. Therefore the possession of a BVD that has not gone through this rigorous process that is yet to happen for the 2024 Elections does not affect the integrity of the Elections, it added. The commission said this while reacting to the report of an unauthorised person in possession of a Biometric Verification Device (BVD) in Nsawam very seriously. "The attention of the Electoral Commission has been drawn to an incident in Nsawam in which a man was arrested on Friday, 23rd August 2024 in possession of a Biometric Verification Device (BVD). "The Commission takes this incident of an unauthorised person in possession of a BVD very seriously.
