The co-chairperson of the National Elections Commission (NEC) has disclosed that regular stakeholders consultation and dialogue remain key for a transparent and credible election in October.
Cllr. Teplah Reeves noted that dialogue with election stakeholders serves as an important medium through which important ideas and misconceptions are resolved.
The NEC Co-chairperson made the remarks when she opened a stakeholders’ dialogue on the impending biometric voter registration in Buchanan, Grand Bassa County over the weekend.
The dialogue brought together more than 200 participants from the six counties of the first phase of the BVR (Gbarpolu, Bomi, Bassa, Cape Mount, montserrado, and Margibi).
The stakeholders included youths, women organizations, elders, superintendents, the Liberia National Police, and the media.
The NEC is transitioning from the outmoded optical mark recognition to biometric beginning on March 20, which Reeves claims “will clear the way for an inclusive and transparent election in October.”
