More elderly people vote
An elderly Ghanaian woman, 120, is trending online after she went to the polling station to cast her vote.
The video showed the touching moment when the woman was being carried by her relatives to the polling station to cast her vote.
Upon arriving at the first polling station, the family of the elderly woman encountered some setbacks after realising her name was not on the voter's register.
The issue was resolved, hence paving the way for the elderly woman to cast her vote.
EC grants media access to collation centres

This disclosure was made at a press conference where the EC said the move to grant media access to collation centres was a remarkable feat in the 2024 electoral process.
Also, the Electoral Commission announced that it had granted accreditation to 10,000 media personnel to provide first-hand, factual information during the 2024 general elections.
