LIBERIA 2023 ELECTIONS: Counting of ballots still ongoing
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The counting of ballot papers is still ongoing at various polling places and precincts in Liberia, hours after polls came to a close at 6:00 p.m. on October 10, 2023.

The multi-tier general elections would see citizens vote for a President, Senators and Members of the House of Representatives, in a process that has been widely reported to have recorded large voter turnout.

“Every Liberian citizen not less than 18 years of age, shall have the right to be registered as a voter and to vote in public elections,” the 1986 Liberian Constitution states.
