He said here on Wednesday that a committee was currently working on the technical aspects of the acquisition process, and added that the EC had agreed to introduce biometric registration since it would help check against double registration and eliminate names of fake voters in the Voters' Register.
Speaking at the launching of the Centre for African Elections Media Monitoring Index (CAEMMI), Parry said the EC would roll out various activities, including media education, starting from January to inform the electorate on the next general election due in 2012.
He said verification equipment would be installed at polling stations to aid in the transparency of the process, adding that vigilance was required from everybody at the polling stations to monitor the system.
CAEMMI is a non-profit, independent international organization committed to democracy and governance processes in Africa by engaging elections media monitoring intelligence tools in media research.
Dr Messan Mawugbe, the Executive Director of CAEMMI, said the centre aimed to ensure peaceful elections across Africa and create a platform for dialogue between media and governance institutions through researching and come out with a well comprehensive and informative index on electoral related issues in Ghana and across Africa.
