Election 2024: We never promised to release provisional voters register in a week – EC to NDC

The Electoral Commission has set the record straight on when the revised Provisional Voters Register (PVR) would be available for political parties.

According to the EC, they categorically stated that the PVR would be ready in two weeks contrary to a statement by the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

In a statement issued in today, October 8, 2024, and signed by Mr.Samuel Tettey, Deputy Chairman Operations,“the Electoral Commission (EC) has taken note of a statement by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to the effect that the EC promised to make the revised Provisional Voters Register (PVR) available to the Political Parties within a week of the IPAC meeting as follows.”

“The Functional Executive Committee of the NDC has deliberated and decided to

accept the EC’s promise to release to political parties, the corrected updated version

of the 2024 Provisional Voters Register for scrutiny within one week,” they stated.

The EC further added that “For the records, the Chairperson of the EC indicated during the televised IPAC meeting that the Commission would provide the Political Parties with the revised PVR and upload it online within two (2) weeks or earlier. Nowhere in her statement did the

Chairperson indicated that the revised PVR would be made available within a week.”

“For the avoidance of doubt, we attach the unedited video of the closing remarks made

by the Chairperson to this effect,” they concluded.
