Following the end of the presidential runoff election, LEON will issue a preliminary statement and then a final report on the conduct of elections that includes findings on the overall integrity and quality of the 2023 electoral cycle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLEON also calls on all political parties and stakeholders to be patient and respect the electoral process to maintain a genuine, credible, transparent, safe, and inclusive second round of the 2023 presidential election in Liberia.<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Elliott further provided reports from LEON\u2019s observers in the just-ended 2023 presidential runoff election.<\/p>\n<p>According to her, LEON observers reported improved adherence to procedures stipulated by the National Elections Commission (NEC), incidents as reported and verified by its observers and analysts, and preliminary trends from ongoing social media monitoring. The statement follows LEON\u2019s mid-day statement issued on November 14, 2023, with its preliminary findings from the opening of polls around the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring the 2023 presidential runoff election, LEON continued implementing its sample-based observation (SBO) by deploying 73 long-term observers (LTOs), 53 field coordinators (FCs), and 18 mobile field observers (MFOs) to supervise and support observations from 904 short-term observers (STOs) at a statistically relevant sample of designated polling places in all 73 electoral districts. The STOs were deployed to the same 904 polling places observed during the October 10th elections.<\/p>\n<p>LEON reiterates that its observers and coordinators pledged to abide by a code of conduct to maintain their impartiality.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFurthermore, LEON is conducting its SBO guided by the Liberian legal framework and domestic and international election observation standards, and its observation approach is founded on the principles of neutrality, nonpartisanship, integrity, and independence to assess the overall quality and integrity of the 2023 electoral cycle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLEON\u2019s preliminary assessment that the voting, closing of polls, and counting processes are generally improved when compared to the October 10th presidential and legislative elections are based on LEON\u2019s observers at assigned polling places from the 15 counties across the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObservations on the NEC procedures followed are based on data collected and verified as of 9:00 AM on November 15, 2023. LEON\u2019s Election Day process data are followed by incidents reported by its observers and trends identified during social media monitoring of the electoral setting.<\/p>\n<p>Voting Procedures: \u201cLEON\u2019s observers reported the following procedural findings from the polling places observed on runoff Election Day. Most NEC officials \u201calways\u201d adhered to procedures in the eight categories listed below; however, in two categories \u2013 \u201cBallot Issuer Explained How to Vote Correctly\u201d and \u201cVoters Left Polling Place After Voting\u201d \u2013 LEON observed compliance in approximately 78.4% of polling places for both points.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe remaining six categories ranged between approximately 90.4% and 97.5% of polling places. The \u201cmostly\u201d category for the two lower categories was 12.7% and 16.1%, respectively, while the other six categories ranged from 1.8% to 5.2% of polling places. The range for the combined figures for procedural adherence increases to a more reassuring 94.5% to 99.3% of polling places.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe observer data indicates that a high number of NEC officials appeared to \u201calways\u201d and \u201cmostly\u201d understand and implement the NEC\u2019s procedures during runoff Election Day at the polling places observed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRegardless, LEON remains concerned that important procedural steps were observed as \u201csometimes\u201d or \u201cnever\u201d is adhered to. For example, observers reported that queue controllers did not check for valid voter cards in approximately 3.1% of polling places, identification officers did not tick voter names on the final registration roll in approximately 3.9% of polling places, and ballot issuers did not explain how to cast a ballot correctly in approximately 3.0% of polling places.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNotably, NEC officials improved on explaining the use of the tactile ballot to visually impaired voters with observers noting that the voter aid tool was explained \u201calways\u201d in approximately 90.6% of polling places, compared to 77.9% during the October 10th elections. Queue controllers checking for valid voter card was observed as \u201calways\u201d in approximately 90.4% of polling places, compared to<\/p>\n<p>85.3% in the previous elections.<\/p>\n<p>LEON notes that voters departed the polling places \u201calways\u201d and \u201cmostly\u201d at a higher rate of approximately 94.5% over the approximately 89.4% of polling places observed during the October 10th elections.<\/p>\n<p>LEON recommended, \u201cthat NEC should improve its training methods and emphasize the needs of visually impaired and other people with disabilities so they can more fully participate during future elections.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/liberia\">Liberia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Liberia.
