Existing processes for cleaning voter’s register not fully utilized to justify forensic audit – EC to NDC

The Electoral Commission (EC) has yet again rejected calls from the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) for a forensic audit of the Provisional Voter's Register (PVR).

The EC maintains that the legal and administrative processes established to clean the register have not been fully exhausted, and thus a forensic audit is not justified at this stage.

This stance was communicated in a letter addressed to NDC Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, following the party's petition submitted after a demonstration on September 17. "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," the EC stated.
