The National Elections Commission of Liberia (NEC), through its Geo-Information Services (GIS) Section, has begun the first phase of confirming local government subdivisions across three southeastern counties, Maryland, Grand Kru, and Sinoe.
The exercise is designed to verify the inventory and composition of all localities within these subdivisions and serves as a critical precursor to the upcoming Boundary Delimitation Review Process.
The confirmation mission brings together a broad range of local and national stakeholders, including District Superintendents, Commissioners, Mayors, Paramount and Clan Chiefs, Township Commissioners, as well as representatives from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Liberia Land Authority, and the Liberia Institute of Geo-Information Services (LIGIS).
According to NEC, the data gathered from this field activity will contribute to producing accurate, up-to-date administrative boundary and locality datasets, essential tools for efficient electoral management.
These updated datasets will inform key electoral processes, including: reapportionment of constituencies, establishment and placement of new voter registration centers, delineation of voting precincts, the conduct of chieftaincy elections and preparations for the 2029 General Elections.
NEC noted on its official Facebook page that the first phase of the confirmation exercise was officially launched on Monday, 1 December 2025, in Harper, Maryland County.
