The Electoral Commission (EC) is scheduled to appear before Parliament on Friday, July 19, 2024, to brief the House on preparations for the 2024 general elections.

This meeting, set to take place in the parliamentary chamber, is a response to a request from members seeking to understand the level of the EC’s preparedness for the upcoming polls.

Members of Parliament have expressed a keen interest in the electoral management body’s readiness, prompting this engagement.

The briefing is expected to cover various aspects of the EC’s preparations, including logistical arrangements, voter registration updates, and measures to ensure a free and fair election process.

The Second Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Andrew Asiamah Amoako, announced the scheduled briefing during proceedings on Thursday, July 18.

He emphasised the importance of this session in providing clarity and assurance to both the members of Parliament and the general public about the integrity and efficiency of the electoral process.

“We will be meeting the Electoral Commission, they are going to be here at our instance, we have invited them to come and brief us on the preparations they have made so far towards the 2024 elections.”

“If you have any issue relating to the EC, just come and ask, it’s not going to be a banter, we’re going to respectfully enquire about what they are doing. So, let’s prepare and come and meet them,” he said.
