The Electoral Commission (EC) has clarified the confusion surrounding the timeline for releasing the provisional voter register (PVR) ahead of the 2024 election.
This comes after the Director of Elections and IT for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dr Edward Omane Boamah, reminded the commission to fulfil its promise of releasing the voter’s register to political parties.
This followed the Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting, where the EC suggested that the register could be made available by October 8, 2024.
The NDC, after the meeting, announced that “the Functional Executive Committee of the NDC has deliberated and decided to accept the EC’s promise to release to political parties the corrected/updated version of the 2024 Provisional Voters Register for scrutiny within one week”.

However, in a statement issued on October 8, Deputy Chairman of Operations, Samuel Tettey, said the chairperson made no such promise.
“For the records, the Chairperson of the EC indicated during the televised IPAC meeting that the Commission would provide the political parties with the revised PVR and upload it online within two (2) weeks or earlier.
“Nowhere in her statement did the Chairperson indicate that the revised PVR would be made available within a week,” the EC said.
