EC to review CI 127, introduce dedicated portal for election results
The Electoral Commission (EC) says it is taking steps to strengthen the transmission and management of election results ahead of future elections through a review of Constitutional Instrument 127 (CI 127), which regulates the conduct of elections.
The Electoral Commission (EC) is reviewing Constitutional Instrument 127 (CI 127) to improve the transmission and management of election results, according to Samuel Dottoh Kwaah, the EC's Director of Electoral Services. This review was discussed during an inter-party dialogue organized by the National Peace Council in Accra. Kwaah stated that the review aims to address challenges encountered during the 2024 general elections and enhance the overall security, transparency, and efficiency of the results transmission process.
He added that a dedicated portal will be introduced for transmitting scanned copies of election results, while maintaining the physical results. Kwaah explained that this move comes as a response to the issues observed during the 2024 elections. The EC plans to invite political parties to contribute their inputs once the review of CI 127 is finalized.
The physical results will continue to be maintained alongside the new portal. A specific timeline for completing the review and launching the results transmission portal has not been provided by the Commission yet.
