The Ghana Election Commission (EC) has dismissed social media reports of the alleged printing of a new voter card despite the expiration of the exercise.
A viral video that circulated on social media suggested that the electoral management body (EMB) was printing new cards even after registration was completed.
But the EC in a statement denied the aforementioned report captured in the video, calling it “false” and “misleading.”
“During the registration exercise that just ended, few centers experienced the production of duplicate ID cards as a result of registration kits with the same codes.”
“As such, the cards in the video belong to those with duplicate voter identification numbers. They were authorized by the Commission, printed at Headquarters and subsequently sent to the District Offices for lamination and distribution, ”the EC clarified in the statement.
“Therefore, the public is advised to ignore the video,” the Commission further stated.
