The Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana assures that it has implemented comprehensive measures to guarantee the fairness of the upcoming district-level elections.

Chairperson of the Commission, Jean Mensa, emphasizes that historical data indicates low participation in these elections. Therefore, the EC has proactively undertaken measures to ensure the smooth conduct of the electoral process.

“Experience over the years shows that this election is not highly participated in and we would like to entreat all Ghanaians and assure them that the Electoral Commission has put in place all arrangements, all necessary arrangements and modalities have been put in place for a smooth incident-free election and we will like to entreat all Ghanaians to take their time to go to their polling stations to cast their votes," she said.

The Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC), Jean Mensa, conveyed this information during a press briefing on Monday, December 18, in anticipation of the district-level elections scheduled for Tuesday, December 19.

Madam Mensa emphasized the significance of the election in contributing to the nation's developmental objectives, noting that many developmental initiatives originate at the local assembly level.

“Let us make this election meaningful. We are all aware that developments start at the district level  and therefore it is important that as citizens we have a say and a stake in who brings development to our various districts,” she added.

Jean Mensa urged all Ghanaians to participate in the electoral process by casting their votes for members of their assembly and unit. Additionally, she cautioned against engaging in activities that could disrupt the orderly conduct of the electoral exercise.
