The Electoral Commission (EC) is set to initiate the transport of ballot papers for December 7, general elections today Thursday, November 14.
In a letter addressed to the General Secretaries of all political parties, EC Deputy Chairman for Operations Samuel Tettey conveyed that preparations have entered their final stages, with ballot materials being dispatched to each region under stringent security measures.
“We bring you warm greetings from the Electoral Commission… [and] inform you that the transportation of ballot papers to the various regions will start tomorrow,” Mr. Tettey noted in the letter, dated November 13.
