2020 Elections: Ballot Papers With Duplicate Serial Numbers Detected In The Eastern Region – NDC On High Alert

Political Party officials and officials of the Electoral Commission have detected some ballot papers with duplicate serial numbers while sorting out electoral materials.

These errors, according to them, were detected in both presidential and parliamentary ballot papers for Akuapem South Constituency in the Eastern Region on Sunday, November 22, 2020.

In an interview with Starr News, Prince Etornam, the Akuapem South Constituency Secretary of the opposition NDC said, “For the ballot papers in the presidential booklets, we noticed that instead of 142 pieces of the booklets, we had 141 booklets which mean there is a shortage by one. On the other hand, 50 of the booklets had duplicate serial numbers on the ballot papers. With the Parliamentary, there was a shortage of one booklet with two duplicate booklets with same serial numbers on ballot papers,”

The NDC Director of Elections for the Eastern Region, Baba Jamal Konney said the Party will ensure that these ballot papers with duplicate serial numbers are kept in the custody of the Police to avoid any untoward circumstances.

The sorting exercise was monitored by BNI, Police and Election Observers from the European Union (EU).
