Press Statement Release on the Start of Voter Registration

The General Public, Members of the Press, Distinguished Ladies, and Gentlemen. The Liberia Elections Observation Network (LEON) welcomes the start of the voter registration update which commenced today and is publishing results of its survey into how many people need to update their registration details. LEON is concerned about the lack of time provided for the update given the number of people indicated by the survey that will need to update their details and the lack of information and public awareness on when each center will be open. 

LEON conducted a nationwide survey of 8339 people between 17 and 26 August this year. The survey was conducted with a random selection of locations and households across all counties and electoral districts that gives a solid representation of the population as a whole.
