According to her, though she is entitled to partake in the special voting, she will not vote in December.
Speaking in an interview on Metro TV’s Current Affairs programme, “Good Evening Ghana" Thursday, Mrs Osei explained that it is not mandatory to vote as a Ghanaian but rather it is one's civic right to vote.
"No, I will not vote", because I don’t want to vote and it is not compulsory, but you should vote. As a former chairperson of the NCCE I strongly urge you to vote. It’s a special privilege,” she told the host of the show.
Charlotte Osei's decision not to vote could be attributed to a willingness to present herself as neutral in the electoral process.
Her predecessor, Afari Gyan did not vote in the last general elections in 2012.
She however called on Ghanaians to go out in their numbers to vote on the Election Day.
Mrs Osei has come under severe public backlash, especially from the opposition New Patriotic Party in recent times.
However, she said she remains focused and will welcome criticisms which are constructive.
