The commission has called on the police to identify, arrest and prosecute the perpetrators, with video footage available to aid in their identification.
The commission also appealed to the government to ensure adequate security for its operations.
The Electoral Commission also urged the Ghana Police Service to take swift action against the people who invaded its offices and caused significant property damage.
Reports indicated that about 40 people stormed the venue, sparking the chaos.
“Our staff also identified two men in military uniform without names in the company of the supporters… Video footage is available showing the perpetrators of these heinous acts.
A man claiming to support the NDC has defended the attacker's actions, saying they were driven by a demand for transparency and fairness in the election process.
He also said they were there to ensure the integrity of the vote count amid growing fears of election irregularities.
Police reject commission's accusation
A police source told Graphic Online that the service could not be blamed for the chaos
It claimed the commission ignored an intel shared with the commission and failed to cooperate with the police.
The source said the police had advised the EC to postpone Monday’s exercise because they had gathered intelligence that some party supporters were planning to attack and disrupt the process, but the Electoral Commission is said to have disregarded the police’s advice.
