The Electoral Commision has stated that they will use over 38,000 polling stations for this year’s December general elections.

According to the Commission any polling station which has more than 749 electorates are splits to reduce queuing and that in itself has created about 5000 polling stations.

Speaking in an interview with Citi FM and monitored by Ghgossip.com, Director of Electoral Services at the EC, Dr. Serebour Quarcoe said;

“We want to reduce the queuing at the polling stations so the Commission decided to put the threshold at 749 so any centre that is more than that is spilt. So there are some centres that have been split into five. Some are four, three and two. The splitting has created about 5,000 plus centres. So there are no new centres. The splitting is around the whole country but mostly in areas that are densely populated”, he stated
