The Electoral commission of Ghana has identified the suspected Officers involved in tempering with presidential ballot papers.
In a statement, the EC said, ‘’working with the Ghana Police Service, has identified the suspected Officers and removed them from post pending further investigations.’’
Below is the full statement
Information reaching the Commission indicates that there have been isolated cases of Presidential ballot papers being tampered with in some polling stations in Awutu Senya West and Bawku Central constituencies.
The Commission, working with the Ghana Police Service, has identified the suspected Officers and removed them from post pending further investigations.
The General Public is informed that the Presidential ballot paper for the 2020 General Election has twelve (12) candidates. For a correctly thumb printed ballot to be considered valid and counted, all the Presidential candidates must be on the ballot paper.
The Commission entreats all its Staff and Field Officials to let the truth guide them and integrity preserve them as they continue with this important exercise. We also urge Political Party and Candidate’s agents and the General Public to be vigilant to ensure a free, fair, credible and transparent election.
