In Election 2012, Ghana's EC introduces a new process to verify voters before they are allowed to cast their vote. This was in the form of biometric verification, a good idea but poorly not so well implemented.
Election 2012 is just around the corner and as expected, the energetic and passionate developer community is taking the opportunity to churn out as many relevant applications as possible. I can't say technology is playing a bigger role than it did 4 years ago. It is however playing some kind of role, from the Electoral Commission, to the candidates who have included social media in their campaigns.
Excited to see the number of polling stations that have been mapped by Ghanaian voters. It is validation of the belief in the internet’s role in helping to ensure that the 2012 elections will be the best ever held in Ghana.
21 November 2012, Accra, Ghana - Google Ghana and the Ghana GDG would be hosting hundreds of people made up of Developers, Civic societies, Ghana's political parties and the media to an event tagged " Elections Going Digital" tomorrow Thursday, 22nd November, 2012.
