The National Elections Commission of Liberia (NEC) was created by Article XVIII of the CPA as successor to the autonomous public Elections Commission established by article 89 of the 1986 Constitution. The responsibilities of the NEC are: administration and enforcement of all laws related to conduct of elections; conduct all elections and referenda; formulation guidelines and codes of conduct relating to the conduct of elections manage the operations of the Commission; registration and regulation of the operations of political parties; maintenance of the register of voters; determination of election petitions; and delimitation of constituencies.

In 2011 the NEC introduced Biometric voter registration and all “All eligible voters were registered afresh under this new system and got new voter card.
