The Electoral Commission (EC) has denied reports alleging that its Chairperson, Jean Mensa, promised to release the Provisional Voters’ Register (PVR) one week following the Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting on Tuesday, October 1.

In a statement released on Tuesday, October 8, the EC clarified that during the IPAC meeting, Ms. Mensa stated that the revised PVR would be made available within two weeks, contrary to claims made by some members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) suggesting a one-week timeline.

The statement, signed by Deputy Chairman of Operations Samuel Tettey, assured the public that the updated register will include all necessary revisions to ensure its accuracy and integrity ahead of the upcoming elections.

The EC stressed that the assertions made by certain NDC members regarding a one-week release were inaccurate.

The release of the revised register is deemed essential for addressing concerns about discrepancies and omissions in previous versions.

As the nation approaches a significant electoral period, the Commission reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining public trust and ensuring the credibility of election outcomes through the accurate and transparent release of the revised PVR.

The EC has consistently highlighted its commitment to upholding the highest standards of electoral transparency.
