EC Announces Special Voting Date For 2024 Elections

The special election for the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections will be held on December 2, 2024, according to a statement made by Jean Mensa, Chairperson of the Electoral Commission.

The announcement was made during a meeting with the national executive of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) in Accra on May 28.

The special voting arrangement is designed for eligible voters who will be unable to vote at their registered polling stations on the day of the general election, scheduled for December 7, 2024.

This provision primarily covers personnel from various security and public service sectors.

Jean Mensa outlined the groups eligible for special voting, including the Ghana Armed Forces, National Intelligence Bureau (NIB), National Security, Ghana Immigration Service, Ghana National Fire Service, and the Information Services Department.

Additional eligible groups include members of the National Ambulance Service, Customs Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority, Prisons Service, Ghana Journalists Association, Ghana Police Service, and the National Media Commission.

Despite the early voting date, Jean Mensa emphasized that the results of the special voting will not be declared until after the general elections on December 7.
