Cllr. Bloh said the ECC delegation was concerned about Procurement plans, the Biometric Voter Registration process statutes, and the reapportioning of the Boundary Constituency based on the Census from Liberia Institute for Geo-Information Services or LISGIS.
Cllr. Bloh thanked the Board members for accepting and honoring their request and said the delegation was also concerned about budgetary allotment from the Government of Liberia to the National Elections Commission of Liberia.
Responding, members of the Board of Commissioners, led by Co-Chairperson, Cllr. P. Tephah Reeves said, all modalities leading to the start of the 20 March 2023 BVR process are progressing according to plans.
The NEC Authorities informed the ECC delegation that the Country has been divided into two phases for the conduct of the BVR process beginning 20 March 2023 to the ending date of 11 May 2023.
