The Electoral Commission (EC) has lauded the impressive voter turnout during the Special Voting exercise held on Monday, December 2, 2024.

At a media briefing, EC Chairperson Jean Mensa revealed that voter turnout across constituencies was notably high, with the lowest recorded percentage being 83%, as reported by Citi Newsroom.

Mensa also announced that 18,774,159 registered voters—representing 55% of Ghana's total population—are expected to participate in the general elections on December 7.

She assured the public that all necessary electoral materials and equipment had been adequately distributed nationwide, minimizing the likelihood of shortages.

Addressing media engagement, she highlighted that close to 10,000 journalists have been accredited to cover the elections, granting them access to polling stations, as well as constituency and regional collation centers.

Underscoring the media's role in combating misinformation on Election Day, Mensa called on journalists to prioritize accuracy and truthfulness in their reporting to ensure the public is well-informed.
