The Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Jean Mensa, has announced that the commission has largely resolved errors in the voter register during an Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting held at the Alisa Hotel on Tuesday, October 1.
Addressing concerns about the voter register, Jean Mensa emphasised that it is not final and contains some imperfections. She acknowledged that such errors are not uncommon and typically arise from any registration process.
“These errors are not unusual. All it takes are conscientious efforts to get them resolved,” she stated.
She assured political party representatives that the EC has already taken steps to correct the discrepancies identified since the initial release of the voter register.
“You will realize that the voters register for today is different from what was provided to the parties in August,” she explained.
Jean Mensa highlighted that the discrepancies detected to date have been largely rectified. “The register that we have today is different from what was given to the political parties in August,” she reiterated, urging all stakeholders to trust the commission in its efforts.
“We have a track record of delivering free and fair elections. Our staff are well trained, and we have what it takes to produce a credible register,” Jean Mensa added.
She called on all political parties to trust the commission ahead of the December polls.
