EC to destroy faulty ballot papers for Volta, Ahafo regions

The Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana has announced plans to destroy ballot papers with serialisation errors for the Volta and Ahafo Regions, following discrepancies in the printing process.

The affected ballots will be shredded and incinerated in the presence of political party representatives, who will sign a Destruction Certificate to confirm the process.

The errors were traced to deficiencies in the automated system used for serialisation, leading the Printing House to rely on a manual process.

However, the EC concluded that this manual system was unreliable for accurate serialisation, prompting the decision to reprint the ballots.

The reprinting will be done by Buck Press and Acts Commercials.

The EC made this announcement during an IPAC meeting on November 15, 2024.
