SPECIAL VOTING ISSUES
The Electoral Commission wishes to assure members of the security agencies and the general public that we are fully aware of the challenges some of them are facing at the various polling stations with the special voters list.
This was discussed with the Presidential candidates and their running mates this morning at a Presidential dialogue organized by the Commission on the elections held at the Movepick Ambassador Hotel in Accra.
The Commission is working with the hierarchy of the security agencies to resolve the challenge as soon as possible.
We urge the security personnel affected to remain calm.
Appropriate arrangements will be made for them all to vote in this year's elections.
Thank you
Signed:
Eric Kofi Dzakpasu
Head of Commissions

The Sulley Amaqdu of the EC is the confusion. He is corrupt take upon himself to know the in and out of the ECand is the causing all the mess. I would advice NPP to put a security specialist on him to Monitor his movements in duty and private.
I am scandalised by this SHAMBOLIC special voting supervised by Madam Charlotte Osei. The claims of their readiness was really talk shop. The entire world is looking upon our incompetence in just running a voting process for less than 130000 people. How much more the millions of Ghanaians eager to vote come December 7th. If it were some other nation, the EC boss would have resigned. I feel that the EC boss must do same after Election 2016.
Please Ghanaians EC,Head of Police,Head of Armed Forces and NDC wants to rig the Election but we must not allow that to happen. MAHAMA and NDC you will never have your WAY OUT this TIME. The change is starting from CENTRAL REGION AND your going to lose BIG TIME
I have not heard any NDC Party people commenting in this EC mess. Are they (NDC) going to back Charlotte Osei and her EC for this horrible mistakes? Very bad. I am beginning to think that the elections will be postponed and this woman sacked.
ONE OF THE OUTSTANDING CHARACTERISTICS OF MAHAMA ADMINISTRATION, ASIDE CORRUPTION, IS MEDIOCRITY. IT IS SO SAD THAT THE POLICE BEHAVING LIKE EC SEEM TO PORTRAYING SUCH MEDIOCRITY UNDER MAHAMA. THE SECURITY FORCES UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE POLICE IN CONJUNCTION WITH EC WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE SPECIAL VOTING TODAY, DECEMBER 1. IT IS REPORTED ALL OVER THE COUNTRY THAT THE EXERCISE WAS A TOTAL FAILURE. THE ELECTION OF SPECIAL VOTING IS EXTENDED TO SUNDAY, DECEMBER 4. WHAT A SHAME. I WONDER IF EC AND POLICE CANNOT ORGANIZE VOTING FOR ABOUT 130, 000 SPECIAL VOTING, HOW COULD THEY DO IT FOR OVER 15,000,000. THIS IS A VERY BAD SIGN FOR WHAT WILL HAPPEN ON DECEMBER 7. IS IT AN EXCUSE FOR EC, THE POLICE AND MAHAMA GOVERNMENT TO CARRY THE ELECTION BEYOND THE STIPULATED DAY, DECEMBER 7. THEY DID THAT TO STEAL THE 2012 ELECTION WHEN THEY EXTENDED THE ELECTION TO A SECOND DAY IN SOME PLACES, THEIR STRONGHOLDS. THERE CANNOT BE ANY REPETITION OF 2012.
She disqualified presidential candidates for mistakes, isn't it? Is she going to disqualify herself now? All these issues were there for you to concentrate and you were bragging about unnecessary court cases. Thanks to the Supreme Court for saving this whole election. Incompetence, arrogance and self-seeking Igbo Nigerian woman.
NPP and all opposition party's open your eyes, the elections is in the process of being rigged for John Mahama, what are the other opposition party's doing?
SLUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
In her quest to impose a corrupt to the bone leader on Ghanaians, this woman is bent on testing the intelligence and resolve of Ghanaian voters.
