The Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana has once again clarified that a stolen biometric verification device (BVD) cannot jeopardise the integrity of the 2024 general elections.
EC’s explanation is in response to an incident in Nsawam in which a man was arrested on Friday, August 23, in possession of a biometric verification device.
In a statement on Saturday, August 24, 2024, the Commission’s Deputy Chairman of Operations, Samuel Tettey, explained that BVDs are only used to verify voters and do not have the features capable of compromising an election.
The EC’s statement indicated that though one needs an activation code and other security clearance to fully utilise a BVD, it is conducting its “own internal investigations and will collaborate with the police to bring this matter to its logical conclusion.”
