General News of Thursday, 8 September 2016Source: 3news.comEC abandons e-transmission of results in 2016 electionsFile PhotoThe proposed electronic transmission of the 2016 election results from all the 275 constituencies by the Electoral Commission has been cancelled, 3News can authoritatively report. The Commission took the decision after the companies that bided for the e-transmission contract failed to meet the required criteria, sources within the Commission told 3FM’s Kwakye Afreh-Nuamah Thursday. “We will add another aspect, which is projecting the results at the constituency collation centre,” the sources told Afreh-Nuamah. But a tender process to select a company to handle the ERTS process has however failed. According to the sources, the Commission does not have enough time to reopen another tender process considering the elections are in less than three months.
