Sierra Leone general election 2023: President

Final count

Votes per candidate as in paragraph 4 of the ECSL statement of 27 Jun 2023 (candidate names as written there, surname first; party names and abbreviations as written, except UDM, taken from the August re-scan). The 13 rows add up to 2,789,808, the 'TOTAL VALID VOTES CAST' in the statement. Invalid votes 10,883 (0.39%); 'national turnout' 2,800,691 (valid plus invalid), which the statement says is '83 % of all registered voters'. The statement gives no registered-voter figure, so electorate is left out. Results of 11,712 of 11,832 polling stations (98.98%); 120 were not entered. Licence: ec.gov.sl has no terms-of-use or licence page (/terms-of-use/, /terms-and-conditions/, /copyright/, /disclaimer/ and /terms/ returned 404 on 3 Oct 2026; /privacy-policy/ says nothing on reuse). The site footer reads '© 2025 ECSL. All Rights Reserved.', and a copy-protection script on its pages appends ' please obtain permission for copyright reason' and the page URL to text copied in a browser. Neither is a statement of reuse terms for the declared results, so, as with the Electoral Commission of Ghana, the counts are copied as an official publication with no reuse terms stated (https://ec.gov.sl/declarations/). The Sierra Leone Copyright Act 2011 was not checked for an exclusion of official documents.
