The PNC 2012 Presidential Candidate, Hassan Ayariga says the cut down on the Electoral Commission�s budget by Parliament is a step in the right direction.
He said the Electoral Commission should raise funds from political parties during registration, since political parties benefit most from elections.
Speaking to Radio Ghana, Mr Ayariga indicated that the country spends too much money on elections instead of other developmental projects.
He urged the EC to manage the approved budget and solicit funds from donor agencies, since there are other pressing issues begging for attention.
Meanwhile, the independent Presidential Candidate in the 2012 elections, Jacob Osei Yeboah, is also of the view that the nation needs to move higher to a system where smart phones can be used for voting.
Mr Osei Yeboah said there should be proper justification for funds made available to the EC.
