A governance lecturer at Central University, Dr. Benjamin Otchere-Ankrah, has advised the Electoral Commission (EC) to exercise caution in their operations, particularly regarding errors in computation and collation of data.

The Electoral Commission has faced significant criticism for inaccurately tabulating the number of registrants on Days 2 and 3 of the ongoing limited registration exercise.

However, the EC has issued an apology for these errors, stating,“The Electoral Commission has corrected errors in the previously released daily voter registration numbers. The inaccuracies were in the cumulative totals for days two and three, though the regional numbers were correct. The Upper East’s day three’s total was mistakenly repeated for day four. These have been amended”.

During a panel discussion on Peace FM's morning show "Kokrokoo," Dr. Otchere-Ankrah expressed his dismay at the recurring errors made by the EC.

He emphasized that while making mistakes is human, it is crucial for the Commission to conduct thorough work to avoid errors that could lead to conflict.

"Some of the errors you commit are unpardonable…Though you are humans and can make mistakes but there are some mistakes that you do which cannot be understood. You have to be extremely careful!", the lecturer advised.
