Electoral Commission to create more polling stations
The Director of Finance of the Electoral
Commission (EC),
Mr Joseph Kwaku Asamoah, has hinted that the
Commission will create more polling stations ahead
of the 2016 presidential elections.

This is to reduce pressure on the biometric
verification devices and also ensure that the
election does not travel into the night.

Mr Asamoah gave the hint at a sensitisation forum
of voters on the District Level Elections (DLE)
with Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), Community
and Faith-Based Organisations (FBOs) and the Media
in Ho.

He said modalities on the creation of additional
polling stations would be discussed with the
political parties and assured that accessibility
to voters, especially persons living with
disabilities will be paramount.

Mr Asamoah said ideally, no polling station should
have more than 500 voter population, to ease
pressure on the election process.

On the impending District Level Elections, Mr
Asamoah said, it was already generating keen
interest and called on all eligible voters to
participate in it.

“The electorate plays an important role in
ensuring the credibility of elections so we want
people to turn up massively,” he said, urging
women to participate fully in the exercise
scheduled for September 1, this year.

Mr Asamoah said the Commission would provide two
biometric verification devices at every polling
stations as well as back-ups to avoid
interruptions during elections.

He said the Commission was implementing some
reforms to enhance the credibility of the
elections and called for support from all.

Mr Asamoah said the Commission has a robust
electoral system and among the very best in the
world and cautioned against people attempting to
cheat during elections.

Madam Laurentia Kpatakpa, Volta Regional Director
of the Electoral Commission, appealed to CSOs,
FBOs and other stakeholders to help ensure the
credibility of the District Level Elections and
future ones.
