The much awaited nationwide voter registration (VR) began yesterday, but reports indicated low turnout at many stations and delays in starting the enrollment process due to the late arrival of registration materials at the various centers. A tour by the Daily Observer to several centers in Monrovia and its environs disclosed that VR materials arrived at about 1p.m. Furthermore many people complained that after the materials were delivered they still spent more than two hours waiting to be registered at several of the VR centers in spite of the low turnout. Another difficulty at the AGM center on Buchanan Street was the failure of one of the cameras to work therefore two VR centers had to depend on one camera. Jerome Korkoyah, however informed the public of the measures taken to ensure a successful VR process.
