The Electoral Commission (EC) has called for police investigations into the viral video of a white truck transporting a copy of a supposed Voters Register for Ahafo Ano 1 and 2.
The Commission in a statement on December 4, 2024 said the voters’ register together with the truck does not belong to the EC and are not official.
According to the EC, its voters’ registers are black and white and not coloured as shown in the video.
“We urge the Police to investigate this matter. The registration number of the pick-up truck, which is visible in the video, should be able to assist the Police in their investigations,” the statement noted.

The Commission urged the public to disregard the viral video as it “is calculated to create suspicion and mistrust for the Commission and its work.”
The Commission further emphasised that the Final Register, which is provided to political parties, is printed by the parties for use by their agents.
Below is the full statement
The Electoral Commission (EC) has taken note of a video circulating on social media which shows a copy of a supposed Voters Register for Ahafo Ano 1 and 2 being transported in a white pick-up truck together with other registers.
The Voters Register shown in the video is not that of the EC. The Commission’s registers are black and white and not coloured as shown in the video.
It is important to note that the Commission provides the Final Register to the Political Parties. As has been the practice, the Political Parties also print the Final Register for their Agents. Additionally, it is instructive to note that the truck in the video does not belong to the Commission.
The Public should disregard the said video. It is calculated to create suspicion and mistrust for the Commission and its work.
We urge the Police to investigate this matter. The registration number of the pick-up truck, which is visible in the video, should be able to assist the Police in their investigations.
Thank you.
Samuel Tettey Deputy Chairman, Operations.
