The Supervisor of Elections Mr. Dudley Lewis has announced the allocation of voters to polling stations for the by-election on March 22 for the Richmond Hill and Cheshire Hall Electoral District in Providenciales. Polling stations will be at the Gustavos Lightbourne Sporting Complex and the TCI Community College. Electors with family names A-L will vote at the Gustavos Lightbourne Sporting Complex while electors with family names M-Z will vote at the TCI Community College. Here’s Chris Jarrett with more on the election.
The Elections Ordinance requires that the Supervisor allocate each elector to an appropriately designated polling station within their electoral district in any case where there is more than one polling station in a district. This is done by the Supervisor providing the Returning Officer with an official list of the names of those people who are eligible to vote that that polling station as required under the Election Ordinance. “To cast your vote at a particular polling station, your details MUST appear on the official list for that venue. This means that you MUST vote at the polling station within your electoral district to which you have been allocated,” Mr. Lewis said.
The Supervisor of Elections noted that individuals who attempt to vote at a polling station, to which they have not been allocated, will NOT be allowed to vote and will instead be referred to the designated polling station. Voters Lists are being posted at the following locations in Electoral District 7- Richmond Hill & Cheshire Hall:
· General Post Office
· Public Library
· Lu Lu’s Food Store
· Provo Discount Pharmacy
· Lamont Restaurant
· Chinson’s Restaurant
· Texaco Gas Station
· Grant’s Gas Station
Mr. Lewis is also reminding the public that under Section 40 of the Elections Ordinance, it is an offense to vote at more than one polling station in the same electoral district or more than once in the same district on polling day.
