WHY THE VOTERS REGISTER NEEDS FORENSIC AUDIT?

Read Time: 2 minutes

We believe a forensic audit will answer the following questions:

1. The Extent of Manipulation: How widespread is the issue of illegal voter transfers? If the Pusiga EC Office could transfer voters from Tamale South Constituency without proper authorization, what is the scale of similar incidents across the country? How many voters might have been affected, and how can this be accurately quantified?
2. System Vulnerabilities: What specific vulnerabilities in the Electoral Commission’s systems – Human and Technical – allowed for these unauthorized transfers? Are there specific protocols or security measures that were bypassed or ignored? Specifically, will the EC’s attempts to address these weaknesses prevent further manipulations ahead of the December 07, elections? If yes, what prevented the EC from not instituting such measures?
3. Timeliness of Provisional Register: Why was there such an avoidable delay in providing the Provisional Voters Register to the NDC?
4. Impact of the Mistakes on the Elections: What is the potential impact of the admitted mistakes and errors by the Electoral Commission on the fairness of the upcoming elections? Will the mistakes compromise the integrity of the election results?
5. Historical Comparisons: The EC generalized its mistakes by referencing errors made by past Commissions. How does this comparison help address the current concerns, and what lessons have been learned from previous errors to prevent similar issues in the future?
6. Timeline for Corrections: What is the timeline for addressing these issues in order to derive a reliable, credible, accurate and fit-for-purpose voters register before printing of the registers, and other materials will commence as originally planned and agreed at IPAC?

Answering these questions honestly and truthfully through an independent forensic audit is non-negotiable and essential for safeguarding the credibility of Ghana’s electoral process.

The independent forensic audit will ensure that the upcoming elections reflect the true will of the suffering people of Ghana.

We urge the Electoral Commission to immediately desist from needless rationalisation of their avoidable errors!

The EC must understand that the credibility of Ghana’s democratic process hinges on the integrity of its electoral institutions.
