The list of polling centers and detailed calendar of activities will be advertised in the media in the coming days.

The finalisation of the election date follows the successful resolution of the petitions submitted before the GJA Elections Adjudication Committee (EDAC).

The election process will begin with the publication of the GJA register in the national dailies on Monday, May 9, 2022.

A copy of this list will be circulated to all Regional Branches, Chapters, and media houses at least (30) calendar days before the election.

This will be followed by an engagement with officials of the Electoral Commission of Ghana to discuss the entire Election and Electoral Processes.
