NDC claims current Voters’ Register is “Sick” and unfit for December elections

The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has raised serious concerns about the current voter register, declaring it unsuitable for use in the upcoming December 7 elections.

Dr. Rashid Tanko Computer, the NDC’s Deputy Director of Elections and IT, pointed out numerous errors and inconsistencies within the register, arguing that it is not reliable for the polls.

“There is more to it than what we are thinking. In fact, the register, as we speak now, is completely sick. It cannot be used for any purpose whatsoever because you can have some consequences where you have the data completely quadrupled,” Dr. Tanko Computer stated.

He highlighted specific issues, noting, “There is no polling station that is going to have more than 700 [voters]. But you can have a polling station where you have a register reporting a transfer of more than 1,000 [voters]. It doesn’t make sense. There is something wrong with it [the voters’ register].”

 

In response to these concerns, the NDC sent a formal letter to the Electoral Commission on Tuesday, August 27, requesting an urgent meeting to address the discrepancies they identified in the provisional register provided to political parties during the recent exhibition exercise.
