xxxxxxxxxxx of Monday, 3 February 2020Source: Graphic.com.ghNew voters register ready by November - ECThe Electoral Commission (EC) has stated that it is on course to produce a new credible biometric voters register and dispatch copies to all the constituencies by November 8. In 2012, the register was authenticated between September 25 and 30, 2012, with the 2016 exercise taking place from October 6 to 10. The processes will enable the EC to dispatch copies of the register to all constituencies by November 8, this year. AbrogationMrs Mensa said the contract with the old information technology (IT) services provider for the EC had to be abrogated because “it was only milking the EC”. With those challenges, and with a referendum to run in 2018, the EC said it invited the consultant who had advised the EC to adopt a new biometric voters register in 2012, to carry out an audit of the IT infrastructure and the BVMS of the EC.
