The EC has initiated a strategic recruitment push to improve its operational efficiency, bringing in more than 200 experts with a background in mathematics, statistics, and related quantitative subjects. By taking this action, the election results’ legitimacy and dependability will be increased.
Dr. Eric Bossman Asare, the Deputy Chairperson of the EC, discussed the Commission’s preparations in a media interview on Tuesday, November 5, stressing the importance of accuracy and transparency in the approaching elections.
He emphasized that the EC is committed to avoiding mistakes of all sizes that can cause public trust to be eroded.
Dr. Eric Bossman Asare emhasised that the recently hired experts contribute strong analytical abilities to support correct data collection, vote tabulation, and statistical analysis—all of which are critical to a reliable and accurate election process.
“The Commission has already recruited over 280,000 individuals who are going to work on this election. We have also recruited people who are going to help with the collation.
“These are people who have a background in mathematics, actuarial science, and statistics and will be assisting with quantitative methods. So they are going to assist the returning officers at the constituency level,” Dr. Eric Bossman Asare is quoted to have said in a report by citinewsroom.com.
