The Electoral Commission, Ghana (EC) has scheduled Tuesday, December 1 as date on which to hold its early voting for voters who will work on election day.

Among these are election officials, security personnel and media personnel who will work outside their jurisdiction on election day.

The Commission, in a statement on Friday, October 2, requested lists of voters in this category as per the Public Elections Regulations of 2020, CI 127.

These category of voters are expected to submit their voter ID card details to the Director of IT Projects at the EC’s headquarters not later than Thursday, October 15.

“Lists received after the 15th of October, 2020 will not be processed.”

The main elections – both parliamentary and presidential – will be held on Monday, December 7.
