Q95 Global View on Q show host Sheridan Gregoire alleges that the DLP nominees on the electoral commission were changed following advice contained in an email to stop ongoing electoral reforms, which served to prevent free and fair elections, since that would have impacted Mr Skerrit’s election winning legacy. However, he observed that it seems like everything is being made worse, based on the recommendations and amendments that are surfacing through the grapevine. Gregoire brought up the concerns about clearly defining what constitutes residency and ensuring that re-registration is done entirely in Dominica. He further opined that the reporting period for campaign funding should be at least one year prior to the day on which the election is announced, and the disclosure of all expenditure should be strictly enforced and there should be severe punishment for breaches or failure to report all campaign funds received and spent. Gregoire also suggested that a fixed amount of approximately $40 to $50 per constituent should be adequate for each candidate. He further suggests that all regulations and laws that are on the books should be strictly enforced by the electoral commission, but he also questions whether the commission as currently constituted will act any of the legislation that is being advanced, some of which Justice Dr. Irving André had already reviewed and offered his comments.
