The Antigua and Barbuda Electoral Commission (ABEC) wishes to inform the general public, that all Registration Units and its Headquarters remain open for regular business.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

To this end, ABEC has also increased its efforts to assist its team members in combating and coping with the uncertainty associated with the global pandemic, COVID-19.<\/p>\n

During a meeting held with the senior members of staff on Wednesday, Chairman of ABEC, Nathaniel \u201cPaddy\u201d James, indicated that the Electoral Management Body is aware of the concerns about the disease, which have an emotional and mental effect on residents and their families.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

He added that ABEC is also playing its part in promoting healthy hygienic practices and urges team members who are feeling ill to report through the proper channels, in order to get the time off to recuperate.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Additionally, critical information about COVID-19 has also been circulated to staff members, via social media and through the distribution of paraphernalia provided by the Ministry of Health and other associated partners.<\/p>\n

ABEC\u2019s Headquarters on Queen Elizabeth Highway and the 17 Registration Units have all been provided with additional resources as an added precautionary measure to maintain a clean and healthy workplace.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

ABEC\u2019s Chairman also encourages the general public to pay attention to news bulletins and to practice good hygiene when interacting with other colleagues and businesses.<\/p>\n
