“NEC shall, therefore, among other duties, upon the passage of this law, formulate the requisite procedures and guidelines to ensure a free, fair and transparent process governing the elections described in sections 4.2, 4.3, and 4.4 of this Act,” it said. Election of Representatives for the 15 Special Legislative Constituencies exclusively allotted to women shall be held during the same time as the Presidential and General Elections. Hearings on the Act were held under the chairmanship of the Senate Committee on Gender, Women and Child Protection, Dr. Peter Coleman. The Act is expected to arrive on the floor of the House of Representatives for concurrence and onward submission to President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf for approval and signing into handbills.
