Learning Squared, a civil society organization dedicated to promoting education, livelihood, and civic engagement in Liberia, has successfully completed a series of voter registration awareness exercises in Gbarpolu County. The activities took place over a two-week period in Gbarma and Bopolu Districts, with the aim of increasing voter participation and engagement in the upcoming elections.
