National Election Watch (NEW) has been observing the 2018 general elections in Sierra Leone. NEW has deployed 506 trained and accredited priority observers to a random sample of 506 polling stations and 507 supervisors across the country to provide timely and accurate information on the conduct of the elections. 97% of the 506 sample observers have submitted reports on the set-up, opening and voting processes. Percentages reported do not cover all 11,122 polling stations but are statistically representative of the country as a whole and do provide reliable and credible data on the process.
The West Africa Election Observers Network (WAEON) is collaborating with the Washington DC-based National Democratic Institute (NDI) to participate in the upcoming general elections in Liberia, scheduled for October 10, 2017. Through NDI, WAEON will contribute to NDI International Observation Mission for the elections.
