The Electoral Commission (EC) has announced that field staff who supervised the voter exhibition exercise last year will receive their payment by Friday.

Deputy Chairman of the Commission in charge of Corporate Services, Dr. Bossman Asare, stated that the delay in payment was due to inaccurate information provided by the staff.

In an interview with Umaru Sanda Amadu on Eyewitness News on Tuesday, he said, “The problem the commission has been having is that a number of the people we engage bring wrong bank accounts… And the challenge we also have with the banks is that once you send the payment, if about 2% of them have wrong details, the bank doesn’t honour the cheques.”

“For those who did the exhibition, about 95% of the payment has been sent to the bank, so we do expect that by Thursday, Friday people should get their money,” he added.

The five-day voter exhibition exercise conducted by the Electoral Commission, Ghana (EC) in preparation for the district-level and unit committee elections ended on Tuesday, November 7, 2023.

The exhibition process was initiated on Friday, November 3, spanning all 38,622 polling stations nationwide. It was opened from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm daily.
