COVERAGE AND REPORTAGE ON THE SECOND PHASE OF VOTER REGISTRATION FOR THE 2023 ELECTIONS

On 20 September 2022, the ECSL announced that 1,815 centers will open for the second phase for all
eligible Sierra Leoneans of voting age and those who will be 18 years old on or before 24 June 2023
(polling day) to participate in the ongoing voter registration. The Commission reminded citizens that
centers will be opened right across the country in all 446 wards in every constituency and district in
order for eligible citizens who did not make it in the first phase to find the nearest center in their
communities. As part of its voter education, the ECSL encouraged eligible voters to take along the
required documents for registration which included: a valid Sierra Leonean passport, previous
Voter ID card, a National ID card, certificate of registration from the National Civil Registration
Authority (NCRA), or valid Sierra Leonean birth certificate.
