EC denounces viral video of fake voters register transported in white truck, calls for Police investigation

The Electoral Commission (EC) has urged the public to ignore a viral video circulating on social media, which shows a Voters Register for Ahafo Ano 1 and 2 being transported in a white pick-up truck alongside other registers.
In a statement, the Commission clarified that the Voters Register shown in the video is not an official document.
"The Voters Register shown in the video is not that of the EC. The Commission’s registers are black and white and not coloured as shown in the video," the statement read.
The EC further explained that it provides the final register to political parties, who are then responsible for printing copies for their agents.
"As has been the practice, the Political Parties also print the Final Register for their Agents," the statement noted.
The Commission also emphasised that the truck featured in the video does not belong to the EC.
The Commission called on the public to disregard the video, describing it as "calculated to create suspicion and mistrust" towards the EC and its operations.
It urged the police to investigate the matter, stating that the registration number of the truck visible in the video could aid in identifying those responsible.
"We urge the Police to investigate this matter. The registration number of the pick-up truck, which is visible in the video, should be able to assist the Police in their investigations," the EC added.
