Everything is ready for Tuesday, December 19, district-level elections, according to the Electoral Commission (EC).

In the 2019 municipal elections, almost 66,000 candidates are vying for assembly and unit committee seats.

According to figures provided by the Electoral Commission, there are 66,257 candidates in total—18,755 candidates for assembly members and 47,502 candidates for unit committee members.

Plans are well underway to guarantee that the polls are well organised, according to Dr. Sereboe Quarcoo, Director of Electoral Services at the EC, who spoke with Citi News.

In order to guarantee that there are enough election supplies at every voting place on Tuesday, he gave his word that sufficient preparations had been undertaken.

With the exception of ballot papers, all the materials are there, and when we are going, we don’t go with partial delivery; we go with full delivery, so we are not expecting to have shortages. All things being equal, in case there are shortages, the district office will respond to such shortages.”
