As the December votes draw near, the Electoral Commission (EC) has reiterated its commitment to providing precise data and statistics.

The EC acknowledged and fixed certain infographics in response to harsh criticism regarding data inaccuracies released in the ongoing limited voter registration campaign, guaranteeing that the overall numbers of registered voters were unaffected.

Speaker Jean Mensa advised the public to continue having faith in the Commission during a meeting with the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) and other stakeholders.

“Whilst I do not hold brief for the team, because they were relying on Coral Draw to come up with these pie charts and graphs and so on, they were doing it manually. And so what we have done is go back to the drawing board and use Excel.

“And so we may not have those colourful graphs, and the focus should not be on that because the application that was being used was not able to do accurate tabulations, so you will find that people had to do it manually.

“So the Coral Draw has been abandoned, and Excel has been applied. But again, I say this because we are a listening Commission and intend to build trust, you come back and let the people know what went wrong and what has been done.”
