St George North voters will go to the polls on Wednesday, November 11, to elect a new Member of Parliament.
Nomination Day will be Monday, October 26.
Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley made the announcements at a press briefing yesterday after Governor General Dame Sandra Mason issued the writ authorising the by-election, which must be held within 90 days.
Speaking at the headquarters of the Barbados Defence Force at the Garrison, the Prime Minister said since the election would be taking place in the midst of a global COVID-19 pandemic, it would not be business as usual.
“We recognise that there will be far less political rallies than would normally be the situation, but it also means that there will challenges in terms of intensity of the interaction, Mottley said, as she acknowledged there would likely be a limit to the number of public meetings.” (GC)
