In a radio interview with Adom FM on Friday, Dr Serebour urged delegates to refrain from taking photos of their ballots.
This action, according to him was in direct violation of the laws governing the electoral process.
“Every law on elections is in place and it is imperative that the sanctity of the secret ballot is upheld. It is vital that all delegates respect the laws and maintain the integrity of the voting process. Any attempt to capture your vote on camera will result in your ballot being disqualified,” he said.
He added that perpetrators will also be handed over to the police for appropriate action to be taken.
Voting will commence at 7 am and end at 2 pm.
Over 200,000 party delegates are expected to participate in the poll.
