The Electoral Commission (EC) has rescinded its previous directive limiting media access to constituency and regional collation centres.
On December 2, the EC announced that, after internal discussions and consultations with key media stakeholders, media personnel with photo accreditation for polling stations will now be allowed to use the same accreditation for access to constituency and regional collation centres.
“From Saturday, 7th December, 2024, media persons can access Constituency and Regional Collation Centres using their photo accreditation cards issued by the EC.”
“The EC is desirous to maintain the highest level of transparency and accountability in its operations. The revised media accreditation aims to provide media personnel with greater flexibility and access to key Election Centres.
“This commitment is to ensure that the media can effectively cover the electoral process, and this change reflects that commitment.”
Arrangements regarding media access to the National Collation Centre will be announced soon.
