Yesterday, Friday, was the final day for eligible voters to have errors corrected on the Electoral and Boundaries Commission’s (EBC) voters’ list, amid reports that several people have found their names missing despite being qualified to vote.
The EBC has been urging Barbadians to check the list and ensure their information is accurate, as no further changes will be allowed after the deadline.
Over the past few days, several residents have reported difficulties locating their names on the list, raising concerns about their ability to participate in next Wednesday’s General Election. Some have also highlighted discrepancies in personal details, including addresses and polling districts.
The commission reminded voters that corrections could have been made by visiting an EBC office in person or by using the online verification system, which allowed individuals to confirm their registration status and submit requests for amendments.
Officials have stressed that only those whose information appears correctly on the final voters’ list will be eligible to cast a ballot.
Efforts to reach EBC officials yesterday for an update were unsuccessful.
