The National Democratic Congress (NDC) is pushing for a multi-stakeholder examination of the Electoral Commission’s (EC) IT system ahead of the December 2024 elections.
This demand stems from concerns over the system’s vulnerability to data manipulation and infiltration, which could compromise the election’s integrity.
“The vulnerabilities in the IT system of the Electoral Commission can be exploited by criminals to compromise the integrity of the December 07, 2024 elections if not addressed,” the General Secretary of the NDC, Fifi Fiafi Kwetey, disclosed in a statement.
Meanwhile, the NDC has accepted the EC’s promise to release an updated version of the 2024 Provisional Voters’ Register for scrutiny within one week.
However, the party wants to ensure that the IT system is secure to prevent any potential issues.
“The Functional Executive Committee of the NDC has deliberated and decided to accept the EC’s promise to release to political parties, the corrected/updated version of the 2024 Provisional Voters Register for scrutiny within one week,” Fifi Kwetey stated.
The NDC is advocating for a collaborative approach to address the IT system’s vulnerabilities.
“We demand a multi-stakeholder and interparty examination of the IT system of the Electoral Commission with the aim of addressing the vulnerabilities,” he emphasized.
