SUMMARY:A FORUM WITH ELECTORAL COMMISSION ON GUIDELINES FOR ELECTION OFFICERS AND THE PUBLICATION OF POLLING STATIONS RESULTS ON THE EC WEBSITE
DESCRIPTION:INVITATION TO A FORUM WITH ELECTORAL COMMISSION ON GUIDELINES FOR ELECTION OFFICERS AND THE PUBLICATION OF POLLING STATIONS RESULTS ON THE EC WEBSITE  \nThe Institute for Democratic Governance (IDEG) respectfully invites you to a Forum with Electoral Commission on Guidelines for Election Officers and the Publication of Polling Station Results on the EC Website scheduled for Friday 9thth August\, 2024\, 10:00am at the IDEG House. \nThe European Union (EU) as a result of some gaps identified by the EU Election Observer Mission (EOMs) before\, during\, and after the 2020 general elections in Ghana\, identified 18 recommendations to fine tune Ghana’s electoral process for the 2024 general elections and beyond. Five (5) out of the 18 recommendations have been prioritized by the European Union for implementation. Priority 1 and Priority 2 of the recommendations states that there should be (1) ‘Clear procedures for presiding officers\, returning officers and regional collation officers to be stipulated on how to proceed in cases of irregularities during the counting and collation process\, including over-voting\, mismatched reconciliation\, incomplete and wrongly filled in result forms’ and (2) Publishing comprehensive polling station and collation results on the EC’s website well before the election results petition filing deadline.  \nFor further information and clarification please contact Ms. Priscilla Akakpo on 0544-357752 or email pakakpo@ideg.org. \nWe look forward to your kind confirmation and participation.

SUMMARY:Policy Dialogue “Effective Constitutional Amendment: The Necessity of Legal and Institutional Safeguards”
DESCRIPTION:Since 2010\, Ghana has pursued constitutional reform through the Constitution Review Commission and the subsequent Constitution Review Implementation Committee\, following extensive public consultations and the submission of the Commission’s report in 2011. However\, implementation stalled across four electoral cycles (2012–2024). \nAmid the historical context of repeated yet unsuccessful attempts at constitutional reform\, recent developments particularly President John Dramani Mahama’s “Reset Agenda” and the submission of the Constitutional Review Committee (CRC) report by the Prof. H. Kwasi Prempeh Committee have renewed momentum for reform efforts. Nonetheless\, in the absence of clear legal and institutional pathways\, the implementation of the 2025 CRC report risks being undermined or abandoned. \nAs a governance think tank\, IDEG is convening this policy dialogue to bring together policymakers\, scholars\, civil society actors\, and governance practitioners to examine the critical pathways for effective constitutional reform implementation in Ghana. \nThe dialogue will focus on three key areas: \n\nLegal and procedural considerations surrounding amendments to entrenched and non-entrenched provisions.\nInstitutional mechanisms required to sustain constitutional reform implementation beyond electoral cycles\, and\nConstitutional options and structural reforms to improve women’s political representation in Ghana\n\nPROGRAM OUTLINE MAR 31
