The Electoral Commission will

persons who will be engaged on December 7th.
These special voters, including
members of the security services, journalists and staff of the Electoral
Commission, will be voting at selected areas in all 275 constituencies.
Electoral Commission Chairperson, Jean Mensa, told
the media on Monday that all the necessary logistics have been deployed in
sufficient quantities to the various constituencies.
She added that all election
officials have been adequately prepared and stand in readiness to deliver a
credible election.
The exercise will start from

The prospective early voters are

Security, Ghana Immigration Service, Ghana National Fire Service, and
Information Services Department.
The rest are personnel of the
National Ambulance Service, Customs Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority,
Prisons Service, Ghana Journalists Association, Ghana Police Service and
National Media Commission.
There were complaints of missing names of some of the
security and media officers.
But Madam Mensa has assured: “The Commission has instructed
its officers to allow media practitioners who have access to the accreditation
to vote.”
