Over 1.4 Million Liberians Registered to Vote in 2023 Elections Libobserver: Liberia governance legal NEC
--"Preliminary results of phase one show a total of 1,435,209 registered voters. Of this number, 711,410 are females while 723,799 are males," NEC Chair, Davidetta Browne-Lansanah disclosed.
However, the electoral body has claimed that the overall impact of the technical glitches on the turnout of the biometric voter registration exercise was minimal. "The figures are subject to change depending on the outcome of the deduplication and adjudication processes," Lansanah added."The deduplication and adjudication have begun at the data center."
The OMR system, for many, does not improve the accountability and transparency of electoral processes and is usually tainted by controversy and mistrust. The biometric, which is also not a silver bullet, according to many experts, is seen as a safe route to produce a credible voter roll void of double registration.
"Overall, we want to say that the just-ended process was marred by lots of technical and administrative inefficiencies. There were limited possibilities for more Liberians to register," Amos Tweh, UP's secretary general, told the Daily Observer via phone.
