The Electoral Commission has firmly asserted that the challenges with serialisation were brought to the attention of the Commission by the EC Team stationed at the said Printing House and also confirmed by the Audit Department of the Commission.
The Commission stated that no Political Party, whether formally or informally, notified the Commission about the challenges with serialisation at the Printing House, even though their agents were present throughout the process.
In the view of the Commission, the decision to reprint the ballot papers for Ahafo and Volta was based solely on reports from the EC Team at the said Printing House and confirmed by its Audit Department.
Addressing the issue as to whether or not the Commission’s response was influenced by a report by the NDC, the EC said:
“It is important for the Public to know that the challenges with serialisation were brought to the attention of the Commission by the EC Team stationed at the said Printing House and also confirmed by the Audit Department of the Commission.
“No Political Party, whether formally or informally, notified the Commission about the challenges with serialisation at the Printing House, even though their agents were present throughout the process.
“The decision to dispose of the printed ballot papers was based solely on reports from the EC Team at the said Printing House and confirmed by its Audit Department.”
