The EC said the move is also to ensure that there is no “communication gap that could create room for needless speculations and allegations.”

As part of measures to ensure transparency in the election process, the Electoral Commission (EC) has agreed to provide an update to the media through a live press briefing every two hours.

“The Commission will be providing constant updates on every aspect of the process to the media in a live press briefing every two hours on Election Day,” the EC said in a statement signed by Eric Kofi Dzakpasu, head of communications.

The EC further urged the media to the “circumspect in their commentary and desist from publishing unverified and unconfirmed claims and allegations about the process.”

The statement also noted that the EC is ready for polls, urging prospective voters to use the Commission’s shortcode #6363 to check their registration details and the name of their polling station if they did not do so during the exhibition period.
