The Electoral Commission (EC) has issued the notice of poll for the parliamentary elections on December 7.<\/p>\n

According to regulations governing the 2016, the notice of poll must be given not less than 30 days before a\u00a0particular election.<\/p>\n

As far as positioning on the ballot paper is concerned,\u00a0governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) have picked the third and fifth spot respectively on the parliamentary ballot for the upcoming parliamentary elections.<\/p>\n

The Great Consolidated Popular Party (GCPP) will be first on the ballot followed by the Progressive People\u2019s Party, second.<\/p>\n

The United People\u2019s Party will be fourth on the ballot with the National Democratic Party being sixth on the ballot paper.<\/p>\n

Parliamentary candidates for the Independent People\u2019s Party will be seventh on the ballot on December 7.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0EC has however said\u00a0it is waiting until all issues regarding the qualification of presidential aspirants have been clarified before publishing the notice of polls for presidential candidates.<\/p>\n

But the Commission\u00a0will ballot for presidential candidates for the December elections on Thursday, November 10, 2016.<\/p>\n

This is after the Supreme Court ruling that ordered it\u00a0to extend the period for the receipt of nomination to the close of Tuesday, November 8, to enable disqualified presidential hopefuls to correct errors on their nomination forms.<\/p>\n

According to the Electoral Commission, the Supreme Court specifically asked them to conduct the balloting on Thursday, after the final list of candidates is declared on Wednesday, November 9, 2016.<\/p>\n
