The Electoral Commission (EC) has called for calm as election results trickle in from various parts of the country.
Ten hours after polls closed, the Commission says it is yet to release certified results as it has noticed several instances of over voting at a number of polling stations.
“It has come to the attention of the Commission that several possible instances of over voting have occurred at a number of polling stations. As a result of this the Electoral Commission has decided to review all results from the collation centres and verify them against the physical pink sheets from the polling stations,” a statement released by the EC Thursday morning said.
The statement explained that multiple verification processes would be required to ensure the integrity of the election results
“The verification process would be done at four stages before the results would be certified. 1. Receipt of manual faxes from the collation centers. 2. Comparison of faxed summary results with the Electronic Results Transfer data 3. Comparison of the constituency collation sheets 4. Final comparison with the polling station pink sheets,” the statement outlined.
The statement further explained that in line with established administrative procedures, the Commission would be able to determine if any over voting occurred in any polling station.
“Should any discrepancy occur the commission will meet to determine the appropriate actions,” the statement said.

According to the EC, "ELECTIONS ARE WON AT THE POOLS". So what is her problem?
Is Charlotte Osei part of the game or a referee. Why is she saying that there was over voting somewhere. Charlotte Osei is a criminal and want to rig the election for NDC

So are u trying to tell us u dont trust ur representatives at the various constituencies or u didnt train them well. madam just do ur part, Afari Gyan will say am declaring but if u have any problem go to court, go to him for tutorials. Atleast u can say something about the little uve received.
IT IS SAFE FOR EC AND THE NATION FOR EC TO RELEASE THE RESULTS DECLARED AT POLLING STATIONS AND COLLATED AT CONSTITUENCIES. LET ANYBODY WHO IS DISSATISFIED PROVIDE THE BASIS TO CHALLENGE. DO YOUR PART EC AND LEAVE ANY CONTROVERSY TO THE COURTS. JUST DO YOUR WORK AS A REFEREE AND LEAVE THE REST TO LAW. DONT REPEAT ANY OF THE MISTAKES YOU MADE BEFORE ELECTIONS BY TAKING WRONG DECISIONS ONLY TO BE CORRECTED BY THE COURTS. YOU HAVE SAID SEVERAL TIMES THAT THE ELECTORAL SYSTEM IN GHANA DETERMINES RESULTS AND NOT EC. SO LET IT BE SO. DONT OPPOSE YOUR OWN SYSTEM AND BE A FAILURE. SO FAR ALL HAS WORKED SO WELL TILL NOW. GET THE MESS BEHIND YOU AND MOVE ON EC.
THIS IS UTTERMOST ***barred word***...EC RATHER COMPLAINING OF OVER VOTING IS ON HEARD OFF..ALL ALONG I THOUGHT MAHAMA WAS A GENTLE MAN AND A PATRIOTIC NOT KNOWING HE IS POST KAYA...IS A CRIME SHAME
You think Ghanaians aren't wise enough? You think we wash our faces up? Am sorry, madam! Check your lesson notes again. You are in for the drill.
Over Voting is determined and dealt with at the Pooling Station. EC mandate is to declare the result and the looser then PROCEED TO COURT for redress.
Hahahahaha...Ndc and Ec forget,it will not wash ,you have just lost a clean contest stop this unnecessary delay because this is not a close contest .bye bye to corrupt government.
