Description

Biometric voting is planned in Liberia. In November 2022, it was reported that Laxton group has been selected as the supplier. However, this has yet to be confirmed by Laxton themselves and awaits confirmation by Liberia state insitutions.

Laxton Group has been selected to supply biometric voter registration hardware and software to Liberia by the country’s National Elections Commission following a bid selection process do-over. The NEC sent a request this week for “No Objection” to Liberia’s Public Procurement and Concession Commission (PPCC), which if granted will lead to the award of the contract, The New Dawn reports. The request notes PPCC’s recommendation to select amongst the remaining bidders after a previous request by the NEC to award the contract to Ekemp was rejected twice.The contract is worth $12 million dollars, and involves the supply of hardware and software to enroll voters and issue cards that can be used in voter verification 3
