The Electoral Commission (EC) has rescheduled the district level elections in some electoral areas in the Ashanti and Eastern Regions, an official statement has said.
The electoral areas in the two regions are expected to vote 21 December 2023, the EC said in a statement on Tuesday (19 December).
The elections are happening in 6,215 electoral areas across 216 metropolitan, municipal, and district assemblies except the Nkoranza North and South in the Bono East Region.
Over 66,000 people are competing for the district assembly and unit committee positions in the forthcoming district level elections.
The statement said the postponement is due to some technical challenges.
“The Commission wishes to inform the general public that due to a number of technical challenges, the district level elections in some electoral areas in the Ashanti and Eastern Regions have been rescheduled to Thursday,
21 December, 2023.”
“We apologise for the inconveniences caused residents of these electoral areas. We assure the residents of the affected areas that the District Level Elections will be held on Thursday, the 21st of December, 2023,” the EC statement said.
