Dr. Bossman Asare, Deputy Commissioner in charge of Corporate Services at the Electoral Commission (EC), has reassured Ghanaians that the integrity of the 2024 general elections is secure and free from potential political interference.

Dr. Asare emphasized that the electoral process is structured to prevent any single individual, regardless of political standing, from influencing the outcome.

Dr. Asare explained that transparency is a hallmark of the EC’s electoral process, with political parties involved at every stage.

"Even if a flagbearer were appointed as the EC chair, there would be nothing they could do to sway the results,” he noted.

He added that every aspect, from voter registration to ballot counting, is conducted in full view of media and party representatives, ensuring a high level of accountability.

To further safeguard the process, Dr. Asare highlighted that all political parties are legally mandated to have representatives at polling stations, which he believes will prevent any tampering and enhance public confidence in the electoral system.

In related news, Dr. Asare reminded eligible voters of the upcoming special voting exercise on December 2. He stressed that those designated for special voting—typically individuals involved in election-related duties on December 7—must vote on this date, as their names will not appear on the main electoral register if they miss the opportunity.

Special voting applies to members of the Ghana Armed Forces, National Intelligence Bureau (NIB), National Security, Immigration Service, Fire Service, Information Services Department, and other key agencies.

To facilitate the process, 328 voting centres will be open across the country, with no centre having more than 750 voters.

Dr. Asare noted that Constituencies exceeding this number have been provided with additional centres to ensure a smooth experience.

“If you are a special voter, make sure to vote on December 2,” Dr. Asare advised.

“Your name will not be on the register on December 7 if you miss this chance.”

He spoke on TV3 on Monday, November 25.
