observation of Ghana’s 2008 general elections. CODEO undertook a nine-month

pre-election observation from March to November 2008 deploying sixty (60) trained

pre-election observers to fifty-six (56) strategically selected constituencies across the

country. CODEO also deployed over 4,000 Election-Day observers for the December 7

election. On January 2, 2009, CODEO observed the residual presidential run-off at the

Tain constituency of the Brong Ahafo region. In addition to its traditional election

watch methodology, CODEO, for the first time, conducted parallel vote tabulation

(PVT) of the presidential election in the December 7 and December 28 elections.

CODEO’s 2008 election activities were funded by the United States Agency for

International Development (USAID). The National Democratic Institute (NDI) of the

USA provided technical assistance and funding to CODEO for the PVT exercise. The

British High Commission supported CODEO’s observation of the January 2, 2009 Tain

constituency presidential run-off.
