Diaspora Vote

This is a petition to give Sierra Leoneans or dual citizens of Sierra Leone in the diaspora their constitutional right to vote in elections for every public office in Sierra Leone.

Why is this important?

Organizing for Sierra Leone is an umbrella group of Sierra Leoneans seeking good governance, accountability and a better quality of life for Sierra Leoneans wherever they may be but most importantly for citizens residing in Sierra Leone. Most members and supporters of this organization would be better served if this petition results in a resolution that will solve this injustice.

This is a petition to give Sierra Leoneans or dual citizens of Sierra Leone their constitutional right to vote in elections for every public office in Sierra Leone.
Sierra Leoneans in the diaspora are interested to make contributions in the area of governance in Sierra Leone by seeking a leadership that can explore and deliver a vision to attain Sierra Leone's fullest potential. Diasporans have contributed immensely to the economy of Sierra Leone by their remittances to support family and small businesses. Diasporans can't just remain outside spectators or a pool for sustenance of an increasingly dependent population. Diasporans seek an economy where the people are offered tools and an enabling environment to attain their highest potential that would improve on their quality of life. We can partner with our fellow countrymen at home to select leaders with a vision and commitment to stem the regression in our quality of life, create upward mobility in creating real hope to fulfill our collective dream of Sierra Leone as the paradise God created for all of us.

Please sign this petition to give a voice to a large segment of our countrymen disenfranchised because of their circumstances or due to a lack of vision to tap this valuable portion of our human resources. We demand our rightful heritage as Sierra Leoneans as well as our constitutional right to vote as citizens.
May our dreams become reality for a better Sierra Leone.
Organizing for Sierra Leone.
