Election 2024: We’re ready for special voting on December 2 – EC

The Electoral Commission (EC) has announced its readiness for the Special Voting Exercise for Election 2024, set for Monday, December 2, 2024, at 276 designated voting centres across the country.

During an interaction with the National Security Task Force, chaired by Inspector General of Police, Dr. George Akufo-Dampare, EC Chairperson Jean Mensa confirmed that all arrangements were in place for a smooth exercise on Monday.

Regarding the general election on December 7, 2024, Jean Mensa stated that 95% of the ballot papers had been distributed, with biometric verification machines already on their way to district offices for further deployment on election day.

Ballot papers are expected to be deployed on Tuesday, November 26, to the Northern, Bono, and Bono East regions—the remaining areas are yet to receive them.

The Special Voting Exercise allows specific groups of registered voters, including journalists and security personnel, to cast their votes ahead of the general election, due to their roles in the December 7 event.
