American group reports on Liberian democracy

    NAIROBI

    An American-based elections organisation currently providing technical assistance to the Liberian Elections Commission, has recommended a greater role for Liberian civil society in election activities, independent 'Star Radio' reported on Tuesday.

    The International Foundation for Elections Systems (IFES) said in a report more work was needed to get Liberians interested in elections.

    The report called on the media, political parties and civic organisations to get involved in spreading "voter and civic education messages". Other recommendations included training for poll workers and party representatives.
