But many of these voters in Bong County believe that they wouldn’t have faced the situation if they had displayed the final voters’ roll. Earlier today in Gbartala, Yellequelleh District, voting came at a standstill after several persons, were denied the chance to exercise their franchise though they had valid voter’s ID cards simply because their names and ID numbers could not be found in the voters roll.

NEC Lower Bong magistrate Barsee Kpangbai told FrontPageAfrica via mobile that they were in discussion with those affect to see whether they can allow them vote.
