The consultation is being rolled out with assistance from the International Foundation Electoral Systems (IFES).

Held under the theme, "Regional Consultation on NEC CVE Six Years Implementation Strategy", it will bring together participants from Montserrado, Grand Cape Mount, Gbarpolu and Bomi Counties respectively. Participants will include civil society organizations, the local leadership structure and traditional leaders.

According to a NEC release, topics to be discussed during the consultation are: "Strategic Direction" "Six-Year Roadmap", "Strategic Planning Process" and CVE Delivery Methodology."
