CODEO observers were allowed to observe the elections at all polling stations by poll officials.

All these successes were reached in collaboration with officials at each polling stations.

It was also reported that, some of these officials the Electoral Commission failed to pay have spent their own monies in the course of the Elections, yet the EC couldn’t pay their allowances.

In the midst of all these, it was reported that, the Electoral Commission of Ghana had advertised vacancies for eligible people to apply. Some of the newly applicants were believed to be some of the officials recruited for the December 17, 2019 elections EC failed to pay.
