In a bid to ensure the integrity and fairness of the upcoming elections, the Liberia Immigration Service (LIS), in collaboration with the Joint Security, has taken the decision to temporarily close the country's borders as Liberians go to the polls on Tuesday, October 10.
This precautionary measure, according to Danny B. Sartee, LIS Director for Operations, aims to prevent any potential influx of aliens who may seek to manipulate or interfere with the voting process. The move underscores the commitment of the government to uphold democratic principles and protect the rights of its citizens.
He said the LIS is collaborating with its Sierra Leonean, Guinean, and Ivoirian counterparts to ensure that the country's borders are secured on Election Day."We have been collaborating with our counterparts to ensure that the borders are secured as we conduct the elections tomorrow," the LIS Director, who is responsible for border management, said.
"We have been talking to the chiefs, elders, and youth leaders of the neighboring towns and villages against allowing their people to interfere in our electoral process," the LIS boss told the CDG forum."We don't want them partaking in our electoral process."
