EC rectifies errors in voter registration figures

Less than 24 hours after the release of the day four figures, the Electoral Commission (EC) has issued a statement to rectify some mistakes in the figures reported for the ongoing limited voter registration exercise.

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Director of Elections and IT, Dr. Omane Boamah earlier disputed the figures reported by the EC.

In a statement issued by the EC, they indicated that “The Electoral Commission has noted some mistakes in the daily voter registration figures earlier published.”

According to them, “The mistakes appeared in the total registered figures stated for days two and three, although the individual regional figures were accurate, while the day three figure for Upper East was repeated for day four.”

The commission added that “All these have been corrected. The figures in the Bar Graph for all the four days, however, remain the same.”

At the end of the four days, the total number of registered voters remain 143, 014.

The commission noted that the errors did not affect its total tabulation for the ongoing limited voter registration exercise.
