On election day, Liberians will vote in three separate ballots for the President and Vice-President, for 64 members of the House of Representatives and for 30 members of the Senate. [...] The recent situation in Liberia has not been easy - the pace of reform has been painfully slow, exacerbated by funding shortfalls. [...] This has impeded progress in addressing threats of violence and impunity. [...] The armed forces, police, judiciary and prison services all suffer from insufficient resources and training and a lack of qualified personnel. [...] Amnesty International has called on candidates of all political parties to demonstrate that human rights are central to their vision for Liberia.
