The Electoral Commission says your data on the 2020 general election is safe and will be preserved.

It responded to allegations by the opposition NDC that the EV erased data on BVDs used for general elections.

The statement said the claim is false because the data is safe.

The National Democratic Congress (NDC), in a statement signed by its Director of Elections, Mr. Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, had alleged that the party’s attention had been drawn to the fact that the EC had ordered that all biometric devices used in the 2020 presidential and presidential elections Parliamentary elections should be deactivated.

“This directive is illegal because Regulation 47 (3) of CI 127 establishes: ‘The commission, subject to the provisions of this regulation, (a) will retain for one year the documents sent to the commission, and (b) will destroy the documents after a year unless a court indicates otherwise, ”he said.

But the EC has discredited the claim and described it as false.
