The Electoral Commission has assured the public of a “world- class" election to be conducted by the Commission this year.

Chairperson of the commission Mrs Charlotte Osei gave the assurance today when the commission met the media to explain preparations being made to ensure a credible, free and fair election.

She said the commission has taken steps to ensure improved training and  compensation package for election officers  to improve their capacity and motivate them to do their work efficiently. 

Mrs Charlotte Osei added that members of the Ghana Bar Association and the Institute of Charted Accountants will be engaged by the commission to assist in the collation of election results at all the 275 collation centers across the country whilst the number of voters per polling station has also been reduced to a maximum of 850 to cut down on queues on election day.

Mrs Charlotte Osei stated that the commission is yet to take a final decision on the electronic transmission of electoral results as the procurement process is ongoing.

The GJA President Mr Affail Monney urged media practitioners to be understand the electoral process in order not to misinform the public.
