Barbadians go to the polls today in a General Election that will determine which party will form the next government.

It was all hands on deck and all systems go, according to Chief Electoral Officer Sherland Turton who said yesterday the Electoral and Boundaries Commission was fully prepared.

She said it in three words: “We are ready.”

Following revisions to the register of electors, 271 205 people are deemed eligible to cast their ballots.
