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

The media in Sierra Leone developed series of approaches to cover and report on the electoral
process since the pronouncement of the dates for the elections. In order for the MRCG to get a
vivid understanding of the media’s approach to the voter registration, it conducted series of
interviews with stakeholders in the Sierra Leone media industry, including journalists from
various media houses. Our findings show that all of the media institutions have developed an
approach to cover the voter registration.
