Referendum: EC to investigate alleged voting rigging

Unverified videos on social media captured some EC officials thump printing ballot papers while another show a man in a voting booth thump printing multiple ballot papers.

The incidents appeared to have marred Thursday's referendum with calls for the perpetrators to be brought to book and the EC boss to resign.

In a statement Friday evening, the EC says its attention has been drawn to the footage ad that it regional officers and security agencies have been contacted to verify the videos.

The statement, signed by the EC chairperson Jean Mensah, said the commission will not shield any staff, permanent or temporary who is found to have violated the law.

The commission also urged members of the public who have evidence of any wrongdoing to forward it to the police.
