<p>According to Article 49(1) of the 1992 Constitution of Ghana, &#8220;Elections shall be by secret ballot.&#8221; This provision emphasizes the importance of protecting the integrity and confidentiality of the electoral process by not disclosing one&#8217;s choices.</p>



<p>However, in a worrying trend, some individuals have been sharing photos of their ballot papers on social media after voting. </p>



<p>This not only compromises the secrecy of the ballot but also undermines the trust and credibility of the electoral process.</p>



<p>The arrested young man&#8217;s actions were caught on camera, and the video has been circulating on social media. The police were seen apprehending the special voter for taking a photo of his ballot paper.</p>

<p>The Electoral Commission of Ghana has emphasized the importance of maintaining the secrecy of the ballot.</p>



<p> According to the Commission, voters are expected to keep their choices confidential and not disclose them to anyone.</p>
