The Electoral Commission (EC) has increased the number of polling stations from 26,000 to 35,000 as part of its preparations for the smooth conduct of district level elections this year.

With the procurement of more biometric verification devices (BVDs), the EC also plans to put two BVDs at the disposal of each polling station during the upcoming elections scheduled to be held by the end of the year.

A Deputy Chairman of the EC in charge of Finance and Administration, Ms Georgina Opoku Amankwaa, made this known in Accra.

With this, elections would be conducted simultaneously for all the 6,156 electoral areas across the country.
