Sam named the three individuals as Stephen Cooper, aged 33, Christian Batee, aged 19, and Raymond Batee, aged 20.
According to Collins, the three individuals purchased the voter registration cards of sixteen persons in the Susan Barrie community.
“The police are interrogating the three individuals to ascertain the whereabouts of the money used to purchase the voter registration cards,†he added.

The ongoing voter registration process has been plagued by issues. In Nimba, registrants have complained about untrained and seemingly illiterate staff. In other places, people have reported malfunctioning cameras. Additionally, there have been numerous reports of non-citizens registering with no hindrance.
