unique features such as: logo of NEC at the bottom of the righthand corner, the Republic of Liberia flag is watermarked at the
top of the card and its seal is in the center of the card or at
some time on Election Day, with no interference to the normal
voting process, within the polling place in the area of their
assignment.
The condition for such voting requires that the voter must
be in possession of: 1. A valid 2017 VR card 2. An accreditation
badge issued by the NEC 3. Personal or work related ID card
Other than these categories, no one is permitted to vote in a
different voting precinct. Because these elections are both

This means that no other person can be recorded on an addendum
to a FRR of a particular polling place other than those named hereinabove.
Thus, the answer given by the witness validates the allegation of the
appellants that individuals whose names were not found on the FRR at a
particular polling place were allowed to vote. Our law provides that all
admissions made by a party or its agent is conclusive evidence against such party.
