NDC makes top 10 proposals and 34 recommendations for Electoral Reforms in Ghana 

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has made top proposals and recommendations for Electoral Reforms in Ghana.

The party believes that, the current Electoral Reforms contained in Elections Regulations, 2020, C.I. 127 are flawed and there is a need to make amendments.

According to the National Democratic Congress, the list of all polling stations to be used for an election with their names, code numbers and locations should be published in the Gazette and as supplements in the state newspapers not
later than 30 days to the election. This will require an amendment to the Public Elections Regulations, 2020, C.I. 127.

The party again said, the BVD printouts for each polling centre should be given to each political party agent or candidate’s agent and should be posted at the polling station.

In a stakeholder engagement on the proposals and recommendations presented by Prof. Kwamena Ahwoi and Mr. Nana Ato Dadzie said, the Electoral Commission should be allowed by law to apply to the courts to remove names of deceased and other unqualified persons from the provisional register when informed by the relevant authorities.

In the seventy-two (72) pages document, the party said, IPAC should be backed by legislation through an amendment to the Electoral Commission Act, 1993, Act 451, which should spell out its composition and functions.

“We have made these proposals mindful of the fact that our party, the NDC, will very soon be in Government and that what we find unacceptable today because we
are in opposition may be what we may be craving for when we find ourselves in Government. The reverse is true as far as the NPP is concerned. We have made these proposals because we believe they are in the best interests of the country” The statement said.
