Liberia International Election Observation Mission

Overview

The 2017 national elections in Liberia represented a milestone in the history of Liberia as the country witnessed the first peaceful transition of power from one elected president to another. The elections also ushered in a historic level of newly elected representatives to the Liberian House of Representatives.

Liberians have celebrated more than fifteen years of peace since their civil war ended, transitioning from a country seeking stability to one focused on transformation. The National Democratic Institute (NDI) is supporting legislative structures and civil society organizations (CSOs) to address the issues that most greatly affect Liberians as the country heads into elections in 2023.

The National Democratic Institute (NDI) deployed an international delegation to Liberia from February 20 - 24, 2017. The purpose of the mission was to assess preparations for Liberia’s October 2017 elections, including the ongoing voter registration process, and to support Liberia’s efforts to conduct peaceful, credible polls. This mission is the first activity in NDI’s comprehensive international election observation.
