The Electoral Commission (EC) has confirmed the death of one person at Nyamkpala in the Northern Region during voting at one of the polling centres.
Director of training at the EC, Dr. Serebour Quarcoe said its officers have confirmed the incidence and reported to the security agencies for them to take immediate action.
He also asked the public to disregard reports of any missing ballot papers at any of the polling centres.
He said all ballot papers for Takyiman where there was a purported incidence of about 200 missing ballot papers were untrue having earlier received reports of 79 missing ballot papers at Atwima Kwahoma in the Ashanti region which were later found to be false.
He, however, cautioned journalists to be circumspect with some information on social media if they could not independently verify themselves.
