Poll Workers, the “Unsung Heroes” of Liberia’s Elections, Celebrated by the National Elections Commission and USAID

By: Democracy International’s Elections and Democracy Activity Team

Through the Elections and Democracy Activity (EDA) poll worker essay contest in 2022, poll workers are finally getting the recognition they deserve on Liberia’s national stage. The contest offered an opportunity for local poll workers to share their stories and inspire others to get involved in the electoral process.

Historically, the National Elections Commission (NEC) has found recruiting local poll workers challenging, requiring a need to bring in workers from Liberia's capital, Monrovia, to more remote areas of the country. This influx of poll workers from outside local communities contributes to a misperception by some that the NEC “controls” the election from elsewhere. When the NEC hires poll workers from within local communities, however, confidence in the election process rises.

The EDA advertised a call for essays by poll workers nationwide describing their experience during elections to increase interest among citizens in becoming a poll worker in their communities, called "My Duty, My Country, My Future." The EDA extended the call for more stories into May, which resulted in dozens of essay submissions from all regions of the country. With stories of challenge and triumph, all equally lauded the power of contributing to Liberia's democracy through this form of service.

A selection committee of seven EDA, NEC, and USAID staff chose three essayists who most exemplified the role: Marroline Nohn Dangan, an election day queue controller in Sanniquellie District #2, Nimba County; Michael T. Yennego, a queue controller in Electoral District #10 in Monrovia, Montserrado; and Othello B. Seekie, a queue controller in the 2020 Special Senatorial election in Bandaquoi Town District #2, Grand Bassa County.

The USAID Mission Director hosted an award ceremony for the winners to celebrate their contributions. With the full Board of Commissioners in attendance, as well as remarks from the US Ambassador, the NEC Chairwoman, and the EDA Chief of Party, the event demonstrated that "This program represents a great partnership between the National Elections Commission, civil society organizations, and the United States Government," as noted by Ambassador Michael McCarthy.

Following the ceremony, the winners joined a talk show to read their essays and discuss their experiences further. The EDA rebroadcast the show on 18 more community radio stations around the country and published the essays in two nationally syndicated newspapers.

The EDA's domestic election monitoring partner, the Election Coordinating Committee, joined the call inviting Liberians to support the NEC as poll workers or volunteer monitors to ensure free, fair, and transparent elections in 2023 and beyond. By featuring and celebrating poll workers in advance of the NEC's call for more in 2023, this activity will encourage more Liberians to participate and can increase the expression of civic duty and confidence in the process. In early 2023, the NEC's Board of Commissioners called on the contest winners to serve as "ambassadors" as voter registration and poll worker recruitment began. With a history of election-related violence in Liberia, this celebration of the poll workers directly involved in delivering elections in their communities is a significant contribution toward advancing the security of all Liberians.

[transglobalist]

On the day I left Ganta, I managed to break (another!) spoke and get caught on the side of the road in a nasty lightning storm and torrential downpour. In the next town I managed to replace the spoke, but I lost faith in the rear wheel and decided to grab a ride to Danane--the first stop after the border. I was also running out of time on my visa. I was trying to find a four-wheeled #taxi to take me, but I was told the roads were incredibly muddy right now and that only motorcycles were reliably getting through. I was also told it would be no problem to put me, my bike, and all my baggage on a single motorcycle. They weren't joking, as you can see. They were also telling the truth about the road conditions. Although the impassably muddy parts were far and few between, we encountered two places where the road was completely blocked by stranded trucks. The only way to get by was to remove the bike and bags from the motorcycle, and carry everything (including the motorcycle) around the obstructions. There was a small army of young boys hanging out for the sole purpose of sherpa-ing items around the trucks for cash. I was happy to hand over $0.50 for the assist. #Liberia #StreetPhotography #Africa #EverydayAfrica #VisiterlAfrique #Photography #Travel #Travelgram #InstaTravel #Adventure #Nature #AdventureTravel #AdventureCycling #Cycling #BikeTouring #Bicycle #Backpacking #Tourism #Camping #Nomad #Holiday #PhotoOfTheDay (at Sanniquellie) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpK8dOOhxGJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=e4qhp04wbcvp

513 Political Rallies Happened Across 15 Counties For 2017 Election

Monrovia - The Liberia Elections Observation Network (LEON) has released its report on the ongoing election activities in the country.

Report by Bettie K. Johnson Mbayo, bettie.mbayo@frontpageafricaonline.com

LEON said its observers attended 513 political party rallies across the country since the start of the campaign on July 31- October 8 of which 382 were large rallies of over 100 people, the remaining 131 were smaller, local events of between 40 and 99 people.

This included 33 large rallies for independent candidates.

Five political parties (and their candidates) emerged as having more significant campaign activities than the others. This includes posters, large and small rallies.

These parties are Unity Party (119 events), ANC (75 events), CDC (74 events), Liberty Party (48 events) and ALP (34 events). LEON has analyzed the methods of campaigning for these five parties in their report.

The Election observing network also assessed that security forces are playing a positive role in the larger rallies where they are present with only two negative reports. Most rallies were peaceful.

“Only 11 events (2%) suffered threats or violence. Apart from the well-publicized violent incidents in Sanniquellie and Monrovia, the majority of these were smaller events where there were no police present.

There were a further 15 reports of election related violence with destruction of political party campaign materials or longstanding tensions causing the incidents.”

“There were also 3 reports of candidates being harassed. Serious incidents were mostly referred to the police who were reported to be acting in 73% of cases referred to them.”

LEON observers also noted improper use of state resources at 32 rallies (5.9%) which were mostly use of Government vehicles, presidential appointees canvassing for the candidate or use of Government buildings by one party (not allowed to another).

However, observers reported that the overall environment in 87.1%of districts has been calm with tensions mostly caused by conflict between parties (15 cases) hate speech (9), administration or police preventing campaign activity (8) or intimidation of voters (4).

LEON observers report that generally election preparations are on schedule and that voter education is happening across 74% of districts, mostly NEC sponsored campaigns although CSO, traditional leaders and churches are sometimes also spreading information.

Only 55% of CVE campaigns are reported to be targeting women, youth, and PWD or majority populations in any way.

Women are also reported to be participating less than men in the process overall.

Women were generally being represented at rallies and as speakers, constituting only 64.7% of speakers and 35.3% of the audience. On the positive side, the majority (84.6%) of rallies were accessible to persons with disabilities.

LEON also announced that it has opened its operations and data center at the Head Quarters of the Federation of Liberian Youth,

LEON will analyze the data as it arrives from the field by SMS submitted by 140 LEON Long Terms Observers (LTOs) and 1000 Short Terms Observers (STOs).

These SMS go directly in the LEON database through specially developed software.

It has a team of data analysts working in shifts who will be analyzing information on opening, voting and counting throughout Election Day.

“LEON observers will be stationed in approximately half of all polling precincts and 20% polling places on Election Day.

The leadership of LEON will be at the secretariat and will issue statements on the process during and after Election Day.

LEON LTOs will monitor the tallying of results at all 19 tallying centers and continue to monitor the post-election environment.

LEON is encouraging all political parties to be peaceful during and after the Elections.

We appeal to the Media to allow the NEC to perform its constitutional mandate especially as the polls close on elections day October 10, 2017.

The National Elections Commission is the only entity with the authority to announce elections results and declare winners.

While we welcome the media announcing results, let us remember that these will be provisional and may not be fully representative since results from remote areas will come in later.

The network (LEON) is a platform of four Liberian Civil Society Organizations:

The Catholic Justice and Peace Commission (JPC), Liberia Crusaders for Peace (LCP), Federation of Liberia Youth (FLY) and National Union of Organizations for the Disabled (NUOD) with the goal to meaningfully contribute to the democratization process in Liberia by providing an avenue for civil society to participate in monitoring and observing the 2017 elections. LEON has 133 observers stationed around the country since June, observing all aspects of the electoral process.

It has recruited and trained a further 1000 short term observers who will be stationed in polling places in all electoral, districts on election day, reporting on the voting and counting processes.

The 133 Long Term Observers will continue to monitor the post-election environment and to report on the tallying process.

Visa free African Countries for Ghanaian Citizens ------------- Liberia – I know Liberia wouldn’t be on anyone’s travel list due to the history of the war and the harm it has brought to the country. It would however be wrong to write off a country due to the errors of other people. So how about giving this country a chance and visit all the cool places it has. You can start with the Capital Monrovia where you can explore the Liberian National Museum, waterside market, Centennial Pavillion, Cece Beach, Sacred Heart Cathedral, Matadi Central Mosque, Providence Island, Bushrod Island etc. Then move on to the port city of Buchanan; the coastal town of Harper situated at Cape Palmas; the “almost” historical town of Careysburg; the fascinating Blo Degbo Rock of Paynesville; the beautiful fishing town of Robertsport which has Lake Piso; also the Mount Nimba which is on the borders of Guinea and Cote D’Ivoire.

Lesotho Infinity And Beyond: 24 January 2017: Liberia- Bahn

                I had debated whether to go back to Duoplay with Milea or bounce around with other PCVs. On one hand, I had only my camera and one change of clothes, but on the other hand, I had pretty much exhausted all the excitement of Duoplay. The choice was clear. I would have dirty clothes, but I would have an adventure. But, honestly, what else is new? I said goodbye to Milea until we would meet up again at someone else’s house in a week. With the help of some map-drawing expertise from the other Nimba County PCVs, I had a map and a route all planned for the next week. My next stop would be a town called Bahn.

My guide to Nimba for the next week, including towns, who lived there, and the transport cost

                We all left Abigail’s house in Sanniquellie, and I piled in a car with a few new buddies going the same direction, Trey, Thomas, and Ike, who happened to be the very people I would spend the week with. Our first quick stop was to the checkpoint outside of town. There are these checkpoints outside of every major town that you have to stop at, and some of them double as immigration posts. I got out and went into the office asking to get my 30 day stamp, which I was told that I could get at any immigration checkpoint when I first crossed into Liberia. They wouldn’t stamp me because my 15-day stamp was still not close to expiring. Guess I’d have to try again in a few days. We continued on the bump-tastic road. These roads apparently get 100 times worse in the rainy season. Some of the roads are so bad, it feels like your teeth are gonna jiggle right out of your mouth. Anyway, after replacing an inevitable flat tire, we made it to the next major town of Ganta. There, we got lunch and then checked out the gas station grocery stores. Outside of the capital, the only things remotely resembling grocery stores are actually inside of gas stations. Whereas in the US, gas station stores are usually more limited, here the gas stations have the widest variety of stuff. We also went to an electronics store where one of the other PCVs Ike was buying a battery and big solar panel for a solar setup at his house.

                From there, we got plenty of room in a big van that took us to Bahn. Ike left for his site, his battery strapped to the back of a motorbike and him holding his solar panel sandwiched between him and the driver. Hopefully he wouldn’t be caught by a gust of wind and sail away with that thing. I would be staying with Trey in Bahn, and we started out with a small tour of the town. We wandered around and saw the different shops, his school, and we even met his landlord who was sitting in front of the new bar she just opened. We went to the street food ladies and got some pig meat (they don’t call it “pork” or “beef” here- it’s pig meat, cow meat, chicken meat, etc.), some plantains, and some sweet potatoes for dinner. Trey normally had current, as he was hooked up to the common generator that powered a few houses, but it was out due to the generator being broken, so we just sat and talked in the pitch dark.

                The next day, we went to Trey’s school where he taught chemistry and biology. We started out in 10th grade with some obligatory time-wasting, having the kids ask me questions, which they were pretty shy about at first. The excitement level perked up when one of them asked how old I was, and it quickly turned into a fun, spitfire round of “guess my age!” After watching Trey teach about the periodic table, I went back in the direction of his house to find his landlord, who was coincidentally also one of the immigration officers for the town. I intercepted her on the road, and at that time the immigration commander happened to be riding by. She flagged him down and he came over to talk. We decided that since I’d be passing the checkpoint the next day to go to a different town, I’d just do it then. The commander also tried to say something about it costing $10 to get the stamp. I just gave him the side eye and explained that, no, it was free, and that I’d already paid a buttload for the Liberian visa. He shrugged and said OK. Man, if these people want bribes, they sure don’t put up much of a fight convincing you that these fictitious fees are real.

The school

                It also happened to be Bahn’s market day, so I wandered through the bamboo stalls of lappa cloths, different foods, raw meat surrounded by clouds of flies, clothes, and other random items. I bought some lappa and some sunglasses, some very necessary purchases. I went back to school and hung around outside the staff room. Some 12th graders came up to me to talk, and when they learned I used to be a PCV and taught math, they asked me to help them with a math review packet. Before I knew it, I was in a classroom teaching a whole class full of 12th graders during their free period. How do I always end up accidentally teaching? Trey told me that, a few days later after I had left, they were asking him “Where’s our Peace Corps?” referring to me. What was he, chopped liver? Hah.

The teachers wanted a photo with me

Side note: Here, they call the individual volunteers a “Peace Corps,” like “The Peace Corps who lives in Duoplay,” whereas in Lesotho we always went by PCV, Peace Corps Volunteer, or just Volunteer, to avoid confusion with the organization at large.

Liberia’s Police Chief Gregory Coleman Threatens Resignation, If…

Monrovia - As Liberians gear towards the runoff election on November 7, Police Inspector General (IG) Gregory Coleman has dismissed allegations that he has been asked by President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf to take a side between the Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) of Senator George Weah and Unity Party of Vice President Joseph Nyumah Boakai.

Report by Bettie K. Johnson Mbayo, bettie.mbayo@frontpageafricaonline.com

“I’m going to vote and that is my right. Do I have to give political support and start to give concession probably because I want to maintain a job? No! I will gladly walk away than to take a side.” – Col. Gregory Coleman, Inspector General, LNP

Coleman in an exclusive interview with FPA disclosed that he had never been asked and if he is asked, he rather step down then take a side.

He currently serves as the head of Election security body, which comprises the Liberia Immigration Service, UNMIL, Liberia National Police (LNP), Drugs Enforcement Agency, and National Fire service.

The Police boss says the allegation has no iota of truth as the President has expressed overwhelming confidence in the Police and continues to do so.

Recalling the last meeting between she and him, Coleman said, “The last time we met she told me to continue doing what I was doing because the results from all of the international partners show an excellent performance by the Police.”

He continued: “At no time she asked me to resign for whatever reason.”

Our working as Police has been exceptionally professional, she asked me to remain in the confines of the law and that which I know is my responsibility.”

Commenting on reports that President Sirleaf also asked him to resign relating to a UNDP contract with the Liberia National Police (LNP), he disclosed that UNDP has US$1.14 million dollars from Japan funding and 200,000 by Germany.

“I personally asked the UNDP to hold the money and pay the officers directly, All the request for payments have been going to UNDP. I work with the executive committee to know whether they have all of the officers included and personnel section clarified the validity of the officers.

“As it relates to the UNDP funding we were given US$1.14 million from Japan and US$200,000 from Germany, I personally asked the UNDP to hold the money and pay the officers directly. All the request for payments have been going to UNDP.”

He said the money was given to officers based on the deployment in counties.

“I only work with the executive committee to know whether they have all of the officers, and personnel section to clarify the validity of officers’ names on the list.”

Coleman continued: “If you go to the UNDP offices and look at the listing you would not see my name and you will not also be told that I am collecting money from them. I’m being paid for this job and I’m working.”

He clarified that cash payment is through the officers’ accounts with any local bank; adding that the slowness of the payment was due to the bank wanting proper verification.

“Nobody's money is going through anyone's hands. Let the public be the judges. But you will always have counter accusation and I take it as an accusation, but, that will not distract us,” he said.

The Police Inspector General says his refusal to not support a political side will go on in history that a chief of the LNP will have no side in an election.

“It’s going to be impossible for me to choose a side, as head of the election security body because you have to provide a level playing field.

“I have not been asked to take a side, and even if I‘m asked I will not take a side. I will never and ever take the side,” he emphasized.

Cllr. Charles Brumskine of the Liberty Party recently accused the LNP of being a supporter something which he denied saying: “We have been silent because it is not the best decision to put out.”

The statement of LP standard bearer Cllr. Brumskine followed a clash between the CDC and LP in Sanniquellie that led to some supporters sustaining injuries.

But the investigation's report hasn’t come out something Coleman attributed to being cautious of the security implication and maintain the peace.

Not an Option

Coleman said the point he has reached in his career, taking a side is not an option for him.

“In my career taking a side is not an option, I can’t because as head of the security body you have to be neutral.”

He continued: “I’m going to vote and that is my right, do I have to give political support and start to give concession probably because I want to maintain a job, no, I will gladly walk away then to take a side.”

Coleman said he has told officers of the LNP to support any political party, “I cannot tell anyone who to vote for, the officers here are all mature people.”

First round

On October 10, over 1 million went to the polls to vote as many were concerned about the peace of the country and the action of security agencies.

When questioned to rate the Police performance during the first round, the IG said there is currently a study called “After Action Review,” going on.

He says the study is ongoing to create a culture of accountability and transparency within the security sector.

“The brief will analyze what happened and how the LNP can do better, performances, failure and how we will do it better,” Coleman said.

He says the “Yes to peace campaign” was an advantage for Liberians keeping the peace in all communities.

Coleman added the campaign will continue to help in maintaining the peace for a smooth transition.

Funds needed for Runoff

The Police IG assured that his men and women in uniform are prepared for the runoff but deployment of officers in the 15 counties will only be possible if the money promised by Government will be given timely.

“We are prepared for the runoff; we previously planned just in case there’s a runoff. Government made the commitment of some funds, and we hope that they can come in a timely manner.”

Officer problems

IG: “There are people who will not be satisfied; there are people who believe that they should be at the top, but they will have to wait for the time. It is better we cooperate and support one another better and easier.

“For now they have to give support, I as a professional in public space understand that as a public servant and what is at stake,” he said.

I have told the officers that there is no need to worry, because we as a team will improve their lives and condition, whatever belongs to the officer will be given and nobody will eat their money.”

He continued; “People sowing seed of discord with the officers and not informing them properly as to what happening it is all about back stabbing and it comes from those who should be senior leaders but I trust my team. We stand on the same ethic of public space.”

IG Coleman reaffirmed to the country in creating an environment aimed at promoting economic growth and development and advancing democracy by delivering international acceptable policing and service to Liberia.
