The ballots for the general elections scheduled for December 7 will be transported by the Electoral Commission (EC) today, Thursday, November 14.
EC Deputy Chairman for Operations Samuel Tettey wrote to the General Secretaries of all political parties to inform them that final preparations have begun and that ballot papers are being sent to each region under strict security.
“We bring you warm greetings from the Electoral Commission. [and] inform you that the transportation of ballot papers to the various regions will start tomorrow,” Mr. Tettey said in the letter, dated November 13.
This comes after the month-long EC preparation efforts where the Commission completed voter registration, allocation of polling stations, and training of election officers among others.
The ballot papers, according to the letter, shall be stored in the police-secured facilities in each region up until election day when they shall be released to the officials in the presence of party representatives to ensure that the process is transparent and fair.
The EC said it is going to ensure the integrity of the electoral process, and that strong security protocols have been put in place to curb tampering or unauthorized access to ballot papers
