UWP President Lennox Linton supports electoral reform initiatives being undertaken by the people, to craft appropriate laws and regulations that will improve voting rules and ensure free & fair elections on a level playing field. He laments the unnecessary expense incurred for the Dennis Bryon consultancy, which was financed by the people of Dominica. He contends that Prime Minister Skerrit first proposed a far lesser charge for the consulting work, but in the end, it was the country's residents who footed the bill for the entire $650,000price tag. In exchange, Linton says however, the people now have specific insightful suggestions, and ideas for improving Dominica's voting rules. He laments that the investment of $650,000 in Sir Dennis Byron’s consultancy would have been much better spent on essential needs of the people. Linton stresses the significance of making specific adjustments to the draft legislation proposed by Sir Dennis Byron, for voter registration, and related rules. He says these laws must not be passed without necessary appropriate changes, that will guarantee free and fair elections. Lennox Linton, president of the United Workers Party.
