Sierra Leone: Final Report, Presidential and Parliamentary Elections, The Commonwealth Secretariat (2007) This report was published by the Commonwealth Secretariat as a result of an observation mission for the 2007 Presidential and Parliamentary Elections in Sierra Leone. The 2007 elections in Sierra Leone marked a very important transition in the country. For the first time, political power was transfered from one elected civilian government to another. Furthermore, for the first time it was introduced the first-past-the-post system for the election of the parliament members. Lastly and most importantly, these elections tested the country's democratic stability: this was the first election held without the presence of UN peacekeepers.
Sierra Leone: Final Report, Local Government Elections, The Commonwealth Secretariat (2008) This report was published as a result of a Commonwealth Observer Mission in Sierra Leone. The Commonwealth mission observed the Local Government elections in 2008. One year after the peaceful Presidential and Parliamentary elections, Sierra Leone held Local Government elections. Local governments are fundamental in the country's democracy, especially after the 2004 Local Government Act. This Act devolved significant powers in key areas to local councils: education, primary health care, social welfare, works and technical maintenance, and financial management amongst others. The elections were considered a success, and for the first time the people of Sierra Leone were able to directly elect Mayors and Councilors. The Mission concluded that the National Electoral Commission (NEC) has improved significantly since the Local Elections in 2004 and administered the elections properly. The report includes some final recommendations to the government of Sierra Leone, the NEC, the political parties and civil society organizations.
