| Mahama instructs delegates on voting procedures to prevent spoiled votes |
Prior to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential primaries on Saturday, May 13, former president John Dramani Mahama has instructed delegates on how to vote in a manner that minimizes the instances of spoiled votes in elections.
Speaking to NDC delegates on May 9 at Wa Central, Mr. Mahama, who is running for the party's flag-bearer position, suggested that if the delegates exercise caution during voting to prevent spoiled ballots, he would be able to receive the 100% of the vote in the constituency as promised by the executives.
"Please place your thumbprint in the middle of the ballot box while you are voting; don't let it cross. You will find my picture there; if you see my picture, just place your thumbprint there," he said.
"One of the things that damages ballots the most is when we don't wipe our thumb after applying the thumbprint, so the ink is still wet on our thumb when we hold the paper to try to fold it and then it thump prints another area. So let's make advantage of the remaining time to educate our population about voting.
