Re-registration of voters on the cards for Antigua and Barbuda

6

The Cabinet welcomed five officials from the Antigua and Barbuda Electoral Commission (ABEC) including the Supervisor of Elections.

The Chairperson of the ABEC, Mr. John Jarvis, died a little more than a week ago and is to be buried next week. 

The expiration of ten-year old cards is fast approaching, and the Cabinet has to determine whether renewal of the cards or re-registration is to take place.

Following intense discussions, it was agreed that re-registration will be preferable since it will preserve the integrity of the voters’ list.

A precise date for the start of the process has not yet been decided.

  2. And this stops the abuse of those living abroad with Antiguan passports flying in to vote and then disappearing again, I for one recommend this update.

    Come on, ten year voter registration? That’s open for political engineering, isn’t it?

    AGAIN, I COULD BE WRONG 😉

  3. Re-registration is the law. Not the PM’s view that re-registration should wait until the boundaries are adjusted and he may go to parliament to delay the re-registration. Is anyone working on boundaries adjustments? I guess they will start with a new government.

  4. Re-registration is the proper and correct way to go.No damn renewal of cards.The re-registration process would clean up the voters lists in every Constituency.In the last Election,a man did say.He transferred Voters from his Constituency into others to help those Candidates on his Party’s Ticket.Was that matter ever investigated by the Electoral Board.Thinks like that should not be allowed to happen in the future.For once they got away with it.You never know when they would do it again without consequences.The Laws of the Land governs all EQUALLY.NO ONE IS ABOVE THOSE LAWS,NO ONE.

  5. The registration card is valid for 10 years, when your card expires you have to apply for a new one. Will a re-registration require all voters to re-register even if they have a valid card? Can you vote with an expired card? Re- registration seems to be an ongoing process.
