Monrovia – 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. From the survey LEON found that 14% of the population are not registered, with the majority of these being under the age of 25 with a slight upweight amongst women. If we look at all the categories of people together there are around 40% of the total voting population who should go to the center for some form of voter registration update. Lastly, observation of the start of the registration update is uncertain due to the late printing of accreditation cards by the NEC. LEON is planning to observe the voter registration update with observers in every electoral district and a core team in Monrovia.
