   Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, who is also Liberia's
   incumbent president, votes in Feefee in Bomi County, Liberia, October
   11, 2011.

   Liberia's electoral commission Thursday announced preliminary results
   from this week's general elections. But the tally represents just a
   fraction of the country's polling districts. Final results are expected
   on October 26, which will decide whether a runoff will be needed for
   the top two presidential candidates: Incumbent Ellen Johnson Sirleaf
   and Winston Tubman.
