Misleading Video About Printing Of Voter ID Cards Rubbish – EC

The Electoral Commission of Ghana (EC), has dismissed social media reports about the alleged printing of new voter’s card despite the expiration of the exercise.

A viral video circulating on social media suggested that the election management body(EMB) was printing new cards even after ending the registration.

But the EC in a statement denied the said report captured in the video describing it as “false” and “misleading”.

“During the just-ended Registration Exercise, few centers experienced the production of duplicate ID cards which resulted from registration kits bearing the same codes.”

“As such the cards in the video belong to those persons with duplicate voter ID numbers. They were authorized by the Commission, printed at the Headquarters, and subsequently sent to the District Offices for lamination and distribution”, the EC clarified in the statement.

“The public is therefore advised to disregard the video,” the Commission further state.
