In an effort to increase transparency, the Electoral Commission (EC) is suggesting that the general election polls in 2024 conclude at 3 p.m. Jean Mensa, the EC Chairperson, cited the 2020 Election experience, claiming that by 1 pm, almost 70% of polling places were empty of voters.

This was brought about by the creation of several polling places, which sped up the procedure. In an effort to cut down on voting time, Mrs. Mensa highlighted the plan to establish multiple polling places, each with a maximum capacity of 500 voters. Because there were more polling places in the previous election, people spent no more than five minutes casting their ballots.

“We are convinced that closing the polls at 3 pm will enable counting and collating to take place in broad daylight and promote the needed transparency and orderliness we so desire. We trust that our Parliament will support this drive to ensure greater transparency and orderliness in our electoral process,” Mrs. Mensa said.
