We are a grass root organisation dedicated to provide insights into the 2021 Somali election, also know as selection and use this flawed process to prepare the Somali youth for the emerging of a full fledge democracy in Somalia and highlight what role different segments of the population can play to bring about this change.
Somali citizens are yearning for the day that they will be allowed to elect their leaders, instead of allowing their fates to be determined by clan elders and the political elite.
SomaliPolls is an initiative to create awareness among the young Somali citizens on how they can (re)gain their constitutional rights and directly vote for their representatives.
During the 2021 selection, SomaliPolls will closely follow the process, in tandem with local journalists and accurately and independently report about the upcoming hundreds electoral events countrywide.
SomaliPolls will document the 2021 process, with the objective to compare to that of 2016, to learn and to disseminate the lessons learned and to use these insights to help prepare One Person One Vote and to boldly aim for a universal suffrage election at the next election cycle.
