Ghana’s electoral management body, the Electoral Commission (EC), says it will receive nominations of candidates for the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections from September 9 to 13, 2024.
This, according to the EC, will be followed by the balloting for positions on the presidential ballot paper on September 23, 2024, and the parliamentary balloting on September 24, 2024.
Furthermore, the EC expects to declare the results of the 2024 presidential polls within three days of the voting exercise, if everything goes according to plan.
In its programme of activities for the 2024 general election being circulated, the EC will conduct a voters’ registration exercise from May 7 to May 27, 2024, and proceed with a nationwide exercise to replace missing voter ID cards from May 30, 2024.
The registration exercise will, however, be preceded by 56 days of public education on the exercise from April 1 to May 26, 2024.
Per the information at hand, the electoral management body intends to submit the provisional voters’ register to the political parties between July 9 and 18, 2024, and mount an exhibition of the voters register between July 15 and 24, 2024.
The final voters’ register is expected to be submitted to the political parties between August 30 and September 5, 2024.
