The Elections Committee of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) has issued a stern warning against the circulation of a fake voters’ list, just hours before the highly anticipated National and Regional Elections scheduled for Monday, June 30, 2025.
The committee’s alert comes amidst mounting concerns over the integrity of the electoral process, with officials vowing decisive action against anyone attempting to undermine the polls.
In a statement released on Sunday, June 29, the Committee expressed deep concern over what it described as a deliberate attempt to mislead members and erode confidence in the electoral process, as reported by citinewsroom.com on the same day, June 29, 2025.
“The Committee urges all members to ignore this mischievous fabrication and rely solely on the official voters’ register, which has been duly signed by both the GJA General Secretary and Treasurer,” the statement emphasised.
Members who are unsure about their inclusion on the voters’ register are encouraged to verify their status by visiting the official GJA website or contacting the Elections Committee directly.
The committee has urged all eligible voters to check their details on the official list and report any discrepancies or suspicious activities immediately.
The committee also announced that the Ghana Police Service (GPS) will be present at all regional voting centers to maintain peace and order during the election.
“In a related development, the Committee has served notice that the Ghana Police Service will be on standby at all regional voting centers. Any individual or group that attempts to disrupt the process will be promptly escorted off the premises,” the caution read.
The GJA elections are crucial for the future of journalism in Ghana, and any attempt to manipulate the outcome is viewed as a direct attack on the profession’s credibility.
Therefore, the Committee reminded members that valid identification will be required to cast a vote.
Acceptable forms of ID include the Ghanaian Passport, Voter’s ID, and the Ghana Card.
“Let us all work together to ensure a peaceful and credible election. May the best candidates win, and may the GJA emerge as the ultimate winner,” the statement said.
