But it's something to be vigilant about.
Avi Wolfman-ArentHOST
And I think I believe it's the Carter Center.
Avi Wolfman-ArentHOST
You guys are both working with Connor and Charlie just to to, I think, in part, give people assurance that this election will be run fairly.
Avi Wolfman-ArentHOST
Can you talk a little bit about your work there, Connor, what you're doing as a former elected official in the community to try to make sure our elections are fair and are perceived as fair?
Conor LambGUEST
Sure.
Conor LambGUEST
What Charlie and I are really trying to do with the helps of the folks at the Carter Center is get ahead of any politically related violence that might otherwise occur.
Conor LambGUEST
And unfortunately, you probably hear that and go, oh, man, that's dramatic or an exaggeration.
Conor LambGUEST
But actually, if you start paying attention, political violence is taking up in this country.
Ron BarberGUEST
We are one, as Don said, one of four organizations that are sponsoring this effort.
Ron BarberGUEST

Ron BarberGUEST
but we're partnering with three other organizations as Don mentioned.
Ray KennedyGUEST
And it didn't have a lot of specificity to it.
Ray KennedyGUEST
Nowadays, if you look at the OSCE or the EU or to some extent the OAS and the Carter Center, they have volumes of manuals on how to do this.
Ray KennedyGUEST
So it starts with an invitation.
Ray KennedyGUEST
The principles, the most fundamental principles are non-interference.

Ray KennedyGUEST
And so those two elections, both the constituent assembly elections and then the presidential elections that led to independence, I think were very meaningful elections.
Ray KennedyGUEST
Elections in both Liberia and Sudan were key elements in the comprehensive peace agreements in both of those countries, putting an end to civil wars.
Ray KennedyGUEST
And in the case of Sudan, the holding of the national elections in 2010 was actually a a prerequisite in the cpa for holding the independence referendum in south sudan the government and cartoon had made it very clear that without uh the national elections there would be no referendum uh on on south sudan's independence okay uh and then the 2023 elections in liberia uh and i headed the carter center's expert mission for those elections those were very close uh and and you know there's a there's a thing among election officials you know The election officials' prayer, election officials kneeling bedside the night before saying, please, Lord, don't let it be close, because we know that close elections end up in controversy.
Ray KennedyGUEST
And the 2023 elections in Liberia were amazingly close.
