Mr Kwesi Afriyie-Badu, Chief Executive Officer of KAB Governance Consult, has indicated that aspirants of the up-coming District Level Elections do not break any rules when they display posters.
He said aspirants were also free to mount platforms and solicit votes because there was no law preventing them to do so.
Mr Afriyie-Badu was speaking at the Eastern Regional Media Dialogue on the District Level Elections, in Koforidua on Thursday.
It was organized by the Electoral Commission (EC), in collaboration with the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development.
The programme, which was facilitated by KAB Governance Consult was on the theme: "Improving Citizen Participation in the 2010 District Level Elections".
The Regional Director of the EC, Mr Paul Boateng said the dialogue was aimed to provide the EC and the Ministry the platform to brief the media on the legal framework for the elections, especially in the light of changes to the law.
He said the dialogue was also to explore opportunities for media practitioners to plan and write articles to educate the public on the elections with the view to promote increased citizen participation.
Mr Boateng asked media practitioners to take the dialogue seriously to deepen their knowledge about the electoral process and improve their reportage on the up-coming elections in December.
Mr Osafo Kantanka, EC Deputy National Chairman in Charge of Operations, said unit committee members in the districts were being reduced.
He said this time round, there would be no government appointees in the unit committee, adding that members would only be elected.
Mr Kantanka said the reduction of the unit committee members would allow for easy advocate for allowances for members and also make elections more manageable.
He said it was necessary to create new electoral areas because of the increase in the country's population.
Mr Kantanka noted that organizations, which are not political parties could fund candidates through the EC.
He appealed to the electorate to participate in the up-coming elections.
