PRESS RELEASE
Accra, November 6,
2016.
LET MY VOTE COUNT ALLIANCE
PRESENTS PUBLIC FORUM ON ELECTION 2016
ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2016 IN
TAMALE
The Let My Vote Count Alliance (LMVCA) will host a
public forum on the theme “Protecting the Ballot;
Safeguarding the Integrity of Elections in Ghana” at the
Central Auditorium, University of Development Studies (UDS),
Tamale.
This forum is part of a series
of nationwide events hosted by LMVCA to bring together a
cross-section of stakeholders to emphasize the need for the
electorate to be vigilant to ensure the will of the people
is upheld. Previous events, which were held in Accra and Ho
were well attended and sparked the discussion on the need
for vigilance in the upcoming elections.
Historically, the
responsibility of protecting the ballot has been centered
largely on the Electoral Commission and agents of the
various political parties. However, LMVCA is calling on all
Ghanaians to take up a collective responsibility to monitor
the elections closely for free, fair and transparent
elections. Safeguarding the integrity of elections in Ghana
is so crucial to our democracy that, it is incumbent on the
electorate to protect the ballot.
The distinguished speakers will
highlight the electoral process and identify the various
roles the electorate can play to protect the ballot and to
safeguard the integrity of
elections in Ghana.
