District Level Elections come off tomorrow

The Electoral Commission (EC) has affirmed its readiness for the district-level elections set to come off on Tuesday, December 19.

With over 66,000 candidates vying for assembly and unit committee positions, the electoral competition includes 18,755 assembly member candidates and 47,502 unit committee member candidates, summing up to 66,257 candidates.

These candidates will contest across 6,215 electoral areas spanning 216 metropolitan, municipal, and district assemblies.

Dr Sereboe Quarcoo, the Director of Electoral Services at the EC, assured that comprehensive preparations have been made to ensure a smooth and well-organized electoral process on Tuesday, December 19.

“With the exception of ballot papers, all the materials are there, and when we are going, we don’t go with partial delivery; we go with full delivery, so we are not expecting to have shortages. All things being equal, in case there are shortages, the district office will respond to such shortages,” he added.
