Electoral Commission |
Yesterday, the Electoral Commission of Ghana organized Special Voting exercise to afford the opportunity to Security personnel and other personnel who will be on duty on December 7 the opportunity to vote.
Although the numbers were not huge, the exercise was characterized by several flaws including people not identifying their names and some parties also protesting against some people voting in the exercise.
With the EC’s conduct yesterday, Ghanaians cast doubts as to whether the EC organize a successful election come December 7 as they have promised.
Well, twitter could not rest at the turn of events at the various polling centers yesterday.
I don’t know what Charlotte Osei and the EC are trying to cook though but their recipe doesn’t look good at all. #SpecialVoting— |Maame (@Miss_InDeed) December 1, 2016

Many people have reported of not finding their names in the voter register for the #SpecialVoting, not a good sign for the EC #Ghanadecides— Gídeön Pep (@GideoniteGid) December 1, 2016
This #SpecialVoting is flawed in many ways but still #NanaB3ba— Kojo Original (@NajjB) December 1, 2016
Because of ECs arrogance?
Lots of people are going to be disenfranchised

Definitely will take more than a press release to calm nerves. #SpecialVoting was anything but special in some areas pic.twitter.com/PDUCaLPdR4— Kafui Dey (@KafuiDey) December 1, 2016
Ghana’s #SpecialVoting Mess so far; ‘Who/What’ exactly is to be held responsible for the prevailing crisis? PLEASE VOTE. #GhElections— Richard Sky (Snr.) (@RichardDelaSky) December 1, 2016
Well, the Special voting exercise which was marred by a host of inconsistencies will be continued on Sunday to allow people who could not vote yesterday the opportunity to vote.
