However, residual gaps have prompted the decision to reprint the ballots entirely for these regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reprinting of both presidential and parliamentary ballot papers will be handled by Buck Press and Acts Commercials. The EC has also committed to providing a detailed printing timetable to stakeholders by the end of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, Mr. Tettey outlined plans for disposing of the defective ballot papers. The process will involve all stakeholders, with a certificate of destruction signed by all parties and copies shared for transparency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The EC clarified that the faulty ballots had not yet been distributed, making a recall unnecessary. This correction addressed earlier reports suggesting the ballots were being retrieved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Electoral Commission (EC) has announced plans to reprint all ballot papers for the Volta and Ahafo regions due to errors in serial numbers.
