The Electoral Commission (EC) has released the list of polling stations for the upcoming presidential and parliamentary elections.
An October 10 statement signed by the EC’s Deputy Chairman in Charge of Operations, Samuel Tetteh, indicated that there will be a total of 40,647 main polling stations, with 328 dedicated for special voting.
The Electoral Commission also announced the printing of notices of poll and ballot papers in a communique on Wednesday, October 9.
The announcement was met with fierce opposition, particularly from the National Democratic Congress (NDC), which resulted in a meeting with other political parties on Thursday, October 10.
The NDC demanded ballot statistics ahead of the printing process during the meeting on Thursday but it disclosed that the EC’s leadership directed them to confirm those statistics with the various printing houses that have been commissioned to carry out the process.
The EC in a statement on Friday, October 11, clarified that it is the printing of the notice of poll for the presidential and parliamentary elections that is set to commence on Friday and not the ballot paper.
