The Antigua and Barbuda Electoral Commission (ABEC) is categorically refuting claims made by the United Progressive Party (UPP) that it has failed to publish the Voters’ Register for June, as is required by law. CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATSAPP GROUP FOR NEWS UPDATES.
In response, the UPP is apologizing to the Commission for a statement it issued, asking that ABEC explain the delay in publication.
A Party official confirms that the June list has, indeed, been printed and published, and believes the mix-up took place because of a delay in acquiring digital copies of the list.
The Party had issued a press release, published on July 11, captioned “UPP demands explanation for ABEC’s late publication of June’s Voters’ List and calls for more voter education.”
In response, ABEC reports that the Register of Electors for June 2022 was published on June 26, 2022, and it was posted in the places required by the Representation of the People Act by June 27, 2022.
“Copies of the document can be seen at the High Court, Public Library, St. John’s Police Station, the (General) Post Office and other areas within the 17 constituencies, including each Registration Unit,” ABEC says.
In addition, the Commission says the Supplementary List – that is, the list of persons registered between June 1 and 30 – which is required to be published by the 15th of every month – has been published since July 8.

Inept group of people that claim they are ready to run this country. A simple thing such as this they must have it wrong. Give me a break. Give me an aspirin. You all go Wheel and come again
Just like your inept cult leader appointed Alex Saab Moran drug trafficker & money launderer as economic envoy in 2014. The same man who is now in US custody singing like a cage bird about his activities in antigua and elsewhere.
Yes. It’s almost as bad as announcing that you have an investor ready to purchase a resort and then you discover that there is a caution against the property. Incompetent, AG and PM need to go!!!
NEXT LEVEL BS you are so correct. I have never seen a more incompetent government.
Next Level BS is right. “BS” and King Lyadd Lovell Limpy Joe LIED about the “NEW” engines. To this day, TAXPAYERS MONIES paying for them. What a PISS POOR PERFORMANCE for the “BS” “NEW” ENGINES!!!
“Mr. Lovell that is not true. That is not true Mr. Lovell”
You want to blame the PM and the AG for poor work done by the staff in the legal department and then compare that to a simple check by anyone calling the ABEC and see if the list were published. Give me a break. Nor the AG nor the PM makes it their business to micromanage staff. And yes, the box stops with them, and surely the relevant staff would have gotten a good backlash for this.
ABEC it’s 2022 and you are yet to publish the June list in a digital format where more than 60% of the registered voters are able to go online. The days of going to the Post Office etc to go through a list is archaic. Tell those who want to go after UPP that they too want the list in digital format. Dave Ray can you stay in NY and see the list ? Where are Barbudans to go ans see the list ?
Yes, in this modern age it should be published online and will be or… it was just delayed. However, they fulfilled their LEGAL obligation. The UPP was too hasty to make its assertions and wound up with egg on its face. If they cared about the list, they would have sought it out before jumping to conclusions. It’s the same thing with people like Joan on the Snake Pit never knowing what’s happening in the country but still commenting on it.
Can someone please tell Kaseba that he needs to redo his song either the recording or when he sings at the tent and state categorically that the Snake has a MAN poopa tree on his 26 acres and not just a poopa tree. That means the Snake ain’t contributing squat to food sustainability.
Man or woman poopah tree need water to grow. If the poor farmers in Antigua had a decent water supply like Farmer Browne what a prosperous nation this would be. Gaston said he would fix, improve, upgrade, whatever, the water problem in 14 days. After 8 years it is 14 times worse. Do tell how are farmers supposed to water dem crops. Is not everybody can afford to buy water.
Ah you cooyah… Dem man just check the oil in the big red machine on Sunday and both opposition parties run around like headless chickens. Did anyone listen to that comedian from the DNA on Darren this morning. The jester said he ain’t believe in putting out a manifesto cause it contains just promises. He then went on to say what his party will do is to put out a road map/blue print. Has the value of 6 and 1/2 ah dozen changed?
They running scared. Pissing old engine oil in their pants!!!
Dem nah see notten yet. King Lyadd Lovell Limpy Joe better check his cardiologist
Glad I’m not the only one that picked this up. What amazes me more is that Darren failed to ask him what is the different between a road map and a manifesto. Because in both, you make promises.
No surprise here coming from a 🤡 party headed by MR. IMF ROMANTIC RHYTHMS WADADLI POWER CAN’T ABST HOTEL RIPOFF ABIB COLLAPSER BANKING-SECTOR COLLAPSER ANTI-UWI FIVE ISLANDS CAMPUS BAICO COLLAPSER ETC
Tessa’ daughter would have completed her first year in university and would have been travelling back to spend the summer with family friends and relatives. Instead her embryonic life was snuffed out on December 23, 2003 after she was shot IN THE NECK on December 16, 2003. Similar to how Japanese Abe was killed last week. UPP should recruit Yamagami Tetsuy to be on their UPP ticket.
AND WHAT DID THE CONVENTION SAY ABOUT NIGEL CHRISTIAN?
WHEN WILL JUSTICE BE SERVED?
WAS NIGEL CHRISTIAN CLEAN?
It is my understanding that the digital copy is not required by law. I stand to be corrected.
Life is so unfair….. You SHOOT someone and you get “REWARDED” with candidacy on the UPP ticket.
Editor, Shawn Nicholas ever SHOOT anybody?? Why was she snubbed?? JAIL TIME is now an asset for the UPP.
Wow!!! #NewLOW
