History of the Electoral Commission of Sierra Leone 1961 – 2010.

      Аннотация: This monograph is an introduction to the history of Sierra Leone’s National Electoral Commission (NEC). It is written specifically to provide, inter-alia, general information on the history and electoral developments which took place within the Commission from 1961 to 2010. Much emphasis is laid on the process of transforming the Commission, from a poorly equipped and dependent body on the Executive arm of Government (i.e. Ministry of Internal Affairs, from 1961 to 2004, with little capacity to conduct credible democratic elections), into a credible independent and professional public institution by 2010 and beyond. As it provides useful information on electoral developments in the country, the monograph is particularly useful to Election Administrators, NGOs, and researchers on electoral democracy and Electoral Management Bodies in Sierra Leone, political parties, politicians and the general reader.
