Temporary Voters Cards issued at Precision Centre
It’s by-election day and for those eligible voters in the St. Peters constituency who wish to exercise your right but are in need of a temporary voter ID card, those cards can now be collected at the Precision Centre.
Initially, persons had to go to the ABEC Office to get these cards, but they can now collect those cards at the Precision Centre.
Applicants must bring a certified passport-size photo, their expired ID and a valid government-issued ID.
The Centre is also being used as a polling station for polling division C.
The Pares Primary School and Parham Primary are also polling stations.
There are 11 polling stations for the by-elections.
Supervisor of Elections, Ian Hughes said approximately twenty-one hundred people have applied for Voter ID replacement cards in order toexercise their franchise. That is from a total of twenty-eight hundred people whose Voter ID cards needed to be replaced.
Hughes said people with expired Voter ID cards may still participate in the election by going to the ABEC office to apply for temporary cards.
According to the Supervisor of Elections, there are 4,762 persons eligible to vote in the by-election.
Polls close at 6 pm. Counting will take place at the Parham Primary School.
Voters have two options when going to the polls, the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party’s (ABLP)Rawdon Turner the opposition, United Progressive Party’s (UPP) George Wehner.
The seat became vacant after the untimely death of MP Asot Michael.
