The Electoral Office of Dominica is issuing the call for persons who are registered electors in Dominica to inspect the preliminary voters’ lists which have now been published in each polling district in Dominica. Physical copies of these lists have been placed in every one of the 100+ polling districts scattered across Dominica’s 21 constituencies. Speaking to Q95 news on 17th October 2019, Chief Elections Officer Ian Michael Anthony is encouraging persons to examine the list and assist the Electoral Office with making updates to the list before the November 1st deadline. for accepting corrections and the November 19th deadline for accepting Claims and Objections before the publication of the final Register of Electors at the end of next month. Anthony is also seeking public assistance with updating information on persons who may have died overseas, whereby persons will be required to provide the proper information, relevant documentation, like a death certificate through either the Assistant Registering Officer for the polling district or the Registering Officer for the constituency. The objection must be on the prescribed form, in the objector’s own handwriting. Where the objector is unable to write, the form must be filled in the handwriting of the witness. Persons eighteen (18) years of age or over, who are otherwise qualified are entitled to have their names included in the Revised Annual Lists. Forms can be obtained from the Registering or Assistant Registering Officers for the constituency or polling districts.
