Turks and Caicos Islanders have been given more time to comment on Ms Kate Sullivan, TCI Constitutional and Electoral Reform Adviser?s revised recommendations for constitutional and electoral reform in the Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI).
Following the interest shown by TCI residents throughout 2010, Ms Sullivan added a second opportunity for the public to comment on formal proposals for change. Her revised recommendations were published in November for this purpose and remain available for consideration and reaction until 14 January 2011.
Interested persons are welcome to make a written response to some or all of the recommendations. Such responses can be made via: their PO Box 68 Grand Turk
Ms Sullivan has published her report on the Governor’s Office website and copies are available from the Governor’s Office in Grand Turk at Waterloo and from the Governor?s Office in Providenciales at the Hilly Ewing Building.
Ms Sullivan further noted that once UK ministers have considered the areas for possible constitutional change, a draft constitutional order will be prepared to incorporate those changes.
This draft order will be published in TCI and opportunities for further public input will be provided before UK ministers decide on the submission of the final version for the Queen’s Assent.
