The Electoral Commission (EC) will begin transporting ballot papers nationwide today, Thursday, November 14, in preparation for the December 7 elections.
In a letter dated November 13, the EC informed the General Secretaries of political parties about the distribution schedule.
The first phase will start with the Greater Accra Region today, followed by Central, Western, Savannah, and Upper West Regions on Friday, November 15.
On Saturday, November 16, Ashanti, Ahafo, and Western North Regions will receive their ballot papers.
This marks the next step in the EC’s month-long preparations, which also included finalizing voter registration, allocating polling stations, and training election officers.
The ballot papers will be stored in secure police facilities in each region until election day. On the day of the election, they will be handed over to officials in the presence of party representatives to ensure transparency.
The EC has reassured the public that strict security measures are in place to protect the integrity of the electoral process and prevent tampering or unauthorized access.
