Mr Albert Awuah, Jomoro District Acting Director of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) , said political tolerance was virtue to peaceful elections.
He, therefore, asked Ghanaians to cherish the peaceful atmosphere of the country and maintain it.
Mr Awuah was addressing a public forum on peaceful elections organised by the Jomoro District Secretariat of the Centre for Democratic Development (CDD).
It was under the theme: "Promoting Citizenship Education to Enhance Election Peace, Transparency and Credibility in Ghana".
Mr Awuah said under the democratic dispensation of the country, it was incumbent on every eligible voter to exercise their franchise in every election.
Superintendent John Dzineku, Jomoro District Police Commander, in an address read for him, appealed to supporters whose party would win the December elections not to tease and provoke their colleagues of the losing parties to avoid trouble after the elections.
He said a district security taskforce, comprising representatives of political parties and security agencies had been formed to ensure peace during the elections.
Opanyin Anthony Kofi, an elder of New Edobo, suggested that identification ink be applied on the thumb of voters during the last stage of voting to reduce the number of spoiled ballot papers.
He said if the ink was applied at the early stage of voting the ink on the voters thumb could soil the voting paper, adding that this had been noted to be contribute to the many rejected ballot papers.
The chief of Ahobre, Nana Erzoah Ebulley II, who chaired the function, called on Ghanaians to make sure that the December elections were peaceful to deepen the democracy of the country.
