A stolen BVD cannot jeopardise the integrity of 2024 elections – EC

The Electoral Commission (EC) has assured the public that the recent theft of a biometric verification device (BVD) in Nsawam will not compromise the integrity of the 2024 general elections.

The EC clarified that BVDs are used solely for verifying voters and cannot be exploited to affect election outcomes without specific activation codes and security protocols.

The Commission is conducting its own investigation and cooperating with the police to resolve the incident.

The EC emphasized the robust security measures in place to ensure that only properly prepared and authorized BVDs can be used on Election Day.
