The Elections and Boundaries Commission (the Commission) is pleased to announce that its Special Voting has successfully begun earlier today. The initial proceedings were relatively smooth.
The establishment of Special Polling Stations, in keeping with special voting requirements, is an integral part of the Commission’s responsibility to conduct elections and will continue over the coming days. Designated Special Electors are reminded that they must actively engage in the process and are encouraged to collect their designated special envelopes promptly. This ensures proper participation and alignment with the special voting timeline, which is scheduled to end on Sunday 27th April 2025.
16,748 Special Electors are expected to cast their votes in the upcoming days. Over 1400 individuals exercised their right to vote in today’s proceedings. The highest special voter turnout recorded today was in the Aranguez / St. Joseph Constituency, where special voters continued to wait within the Polling Station precinct beyond 3:00 p.m. to vote.
Special Electors are reminded that their voting procedure differs from the standard process and may require additional time. As a result, longer-than-usual wait times were observed today at some locations. The Commission appreciates the patience and cooperation of all participants as we facilitate an effective and efficient electoral process.
