Today Liberians vote on 4 important issues:
Should the residency requirement for presidential and vice-presidential candidates be decreased from 10 to 5 years?
Should the date of the national elections be moved from October to November?
Should the retirement age for Supreme Court justices be moved from 70 to 75?
Should runoff elections in municipal and legislative elections be stopped (meaning someone could win without having won 50+% of the vote, but it would also be less expensive)?
Interesting issues, and to top it off, apparently there has been an error on the ballot where Liberians will vote for the retirement age: it says should be it be "75 or 75". The ballots were printed in Denmark, and it was too late to correct the mistake.
An interesting day. Let hope for a peaceful and smooth day of voting.
BTW, I'm totes still alive and kickin'. Update soon.
Peace, Derek
