Election 2020: Electoral Commission To Announce Procedures For Filing Nominations Monday
The Electoral Commission (EC) will today, Monday hold a media briefing on the procedures for the filing of nominations and receipts for the 2020 General Election.
Already, the Commission has indicated that for the first time in the country’s electoral history, presidential and parliamentary aspirants would not physically pick nomination forms from the offices of the EC but would have to download the forms from its website for processing.
The guidelines for nominations would be available on the EC’s website for political parties and candidates to access.
The Commission said the move was part of the safety protocols for curbing the spread of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
It said the initiative would also break down the bureaucratic nature of the filing of nominations and make it less cumbersome.
Per Ghana’s electoral laws, aspirants seeking to contest parliamentary and presidential elections are to file their nominations with the EC.
Over the years, aspirants or their representatives would visit the offices of the EC at the district, regional or national levels to pick the nomination forms, which were completed and filed at a later date.
The atmosphere on such occasions was usually dramatic, characterised by drumming, singing, dancing and sloganeering.
The latest move by the EC would thus end the funfair of picking and filing of forms.
