Assistant Registration Officer of GECOM, Alexandra Sophia Bowman yesterday said she was instructed to use a spreadsheet instead of Statements of Poll (SoPs) during the tabulation of votes cast in District Four for the March 2020 General and Regional Elections.
“When was my turn, I was instructed that we won’t be calling from the SoPs anymore. We would be calling from the spreadsheet,” Bowman told the Presidential Commission of Inquiry (CoI) into the March 2020 elections yesterday morning.
Asked who gave the instructions, Bowman told Senior Counsel Sophia Chote, who is leading evidence in the inquiry that while she could not remember directly it was either Region Four Returning Officer, Clairmont Mingo or his clerk, Michelle Miller.
