Paynesville - The National Youth Movement for Transparent Elections (NAYMOTE) has hosted a peace jamboree to mitigate electoral violence, under the theme: “Mobilizing the Youth to Mitigate Potential Electoral Violence”. We will be teaching you the steps involved in the voting process, if you don’t know how to mark the ballot,” he asserted. Also speaking in an interview with FrontPage Africa, the Executive Director of NAYMOTE, Eddie Jarwolo said the jamboree was intended to educate voters on their roles and responsibilities to mitigate electoral violence after the intense and peaceful campaign activities in the country. He averred that it is time for the National Elections Commission (NEC) to play its role in mitigating electoral violence, acknowledging that electoral violence usually occurs during campaigning, voting and counting processes. For his part, the Program Officer of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), Chris O’Connor said NED was impressed by the positive role played by Liberians during the campaign process for electoral preparations.
