The Electoral Commission (EC) has announced that presidential results for the December 7 election will be declared at all 16 regional collation centres before the final declaration.
According to the Deputy Chairperson in charge of Corporate Services, Dr Bossman Asare, the final results will be declared at the national headquarters.
Speaking at the launch of the Coalition of Domestic Election Observers (CODEO) election day observation, Dr Asare said all the political parties have agreed to the new format.
Consequently, their agents will be present at polling stations and collation centres to engage in the process.
He said this would help enhance transparency in the collation process.
“For every constituency, there will be someone assisting with the collation process, and the same applies at the regional level. Under CI 127, regional collation is part of the structure for presidential elections.
“After results are compiled at polling stations, they will be sent to constituency collation centres, and from there, forwarded to the regional collation centres. At each regional centre, we will announce the presidential results,” he said.
