The Electoral Commission for Sierra Leone will once more like to thank all Sierra Leoneans for participating peacefully in the June 24th, 2023 multi-tier Elections. 

We also would like to thank the Government of Sierra Leone for honoring its responsibilities to finance over 90% of the costs of the elections. We thank our development partners who contributed to the multilateral partners’ fund used to support civil society organizations and complimentary activities like voter education and inclusion. All these activities led to the large voter turnout observed across the country.
In line with Section 164 of The Public Elections Act, 2022, the Electoral Commission for Sierra Leone (ECSL) accredited several Observer Missions to observe the June 24th General Elections which have been widely acclaimed as one of the most peaceful elections held in Africa. 

Whilst the ECSL awaits the final reports of the various accredited Observer Missions, we note the repetitive calls, mostly indirectly, from some quarters urging the ECSL to take actions that do not fall under the Laws of Sierra Leone. The Commission will consider recommendations from the Observer Missions that will add value to the electioneering processes. The ECSL assures all that it will continue to be guided by extant laws and best practice precedents in all its actions.
