Carter Center Urges Release of Polling Station Results in Calm Sierra Leone Election
TL;DR
The Carter Center has called on the Electoral Commission for Sierra Leone (ECSL) to release election results by polling station, allowing parties and observers to verify the data. This comes after discrepancies were found between the ECSL results and those of the National Election Watch (NEW). The Carter Center has expressed concerns about the lack of transparency during the tabulation process and has observed irregularities that question the integrity of the results. They recommend setting aside results from ballot boxes opened in violation of procedure until a credible review can be conducted.
