Sierra Leoneans in Diaspora May Vote in 2028 Election

Sierra Leone’s Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Alpha Sesay Esq., has unveiled a package of electoral and justice sector reforms designed to expand democratic participation and streamline legal processes for citizens living abroad.

Speaking during the Civic Day Series in the United States on Tuesday, AG Sesay said the reforms would, for the first time, allow Sierra Leoneans in the diaspora to register and potentially vote at Sierra Leonean embassies worldwide.

“Instead of flying home multiple times for registration, verification, and voting, you will soon be able to do it all here at the embassy,” he assured.
