The first voters were already queuing before dawn broke over St Philip, determined to be among the earliest to cast their ballots across the parish’s three constituencies.

There was a steady flow from 6 o’clock at Princess Margaret Secondary School, while stations like Reynold Weekes Primary and Gemswick Church of the Nazarene experienced lighter, but consistent turnout.

For many, voting was about honouring legacy and duty.

The morning wasn’t entirely without challenges. Two voters at Princess Margaret Secondary left upset after their names weren’t found on the list, and another woman discovered she needed to vote elsewhere.

Despite these hiccups, Rev. Clive Thomas, presiding officer at Reynold Weekes Primary, reported smooth operations.

“We had no problems, no hiccups, no difficulties,” he said, noting the morning rush had settled into a manageable pace. (DDS), while stations like Reynold Weekes Primary and Gemswick Church of the Nazarene experienced lighter, but consistent turnout.
