EC rejects NDC’s call for forensic audit of voter register

The Electoral Commission (EC) has rejected the call by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to conduct a forensic audit of the voter register.

The Commission said this while responding to the petition submitted by the main opposition party.

In its response to the NDC's petition, the EC said "The Commission takes this opportunity to assure the NDC and the General Public that it has largely resolved all the discrepancies identified in the PVR.

The Commission achieved this in 2020 and will do it again in 2024. "We invite your team to the discussion table as we believe it will afford us the opportunity to demonstrate to you that the discrepancies detected in the PVR have been resolved. "As a Commission, we are of the view that the existing legal and administrative processes for cleaning the PVR have not been fully exhausted to justify the call for a Forensic Audit.
