According to the NEC, this is no longer the provision of pieces of verbal evidence but now substantive ones — National ID Cards as proof of citizenship for biometric voter registration. However, the concern among citizens and opposition political parties is that not many citizens, especially in rural Liberia, may have access to the national ID cards. There are many people in Montserrado who have not taken a National ID Card,” Tweh said. “NEC said they’re going to relax the driver's license and National ID cards as requirements,” he emphasized. This means over two million potential voters may not have means of proving their citizenship when required during the Biometric Voter Registration.
