The Antigua and Barbuda Electoral Commission is renewing its call for holders of the Electoral Identification Card more commonly known as the Voter\u2019s ID Card to be more mindful and careful with how they handle the document.<\/p>

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

This comes as the electoral body reports that the office is in the possession of a number of lost cards as well as several unclaimed cards following the registration of persons across the 17 constituencies.<\/p>\n

Public Relations Officer, Elisa Graham, is encouraging members of the public to collect their cards when they are called.<\/p>

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

\u201cWe are currently working on a list with persons who have outstanding cards which will be published on our website www.abec.gov.ag<\/a> and our facebook page as well. We do not want a situation where if the Election is called sooner that persons then realize that they do not have their cards and then flock the office or start to panic because of course persons will not be able to vote unless they are able to present their cards upon entering the polling station\u201d, she emphasized.<\/p>

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

Graham also urged persons to ensure that they keep their document safe.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Voter\u2019s Identification card is a national ID so therefore it is in your best interest to keep it safe with your other documents of national importance like your passport, your driver\u2019s license. It has critical information about you on it as well, so we implore you to keep it safe\u201d, she stressed.<\/p>

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

Graham also reminded that there is a $100 fee for persons who wish to replace lost ID cards.<\/p>\n
