Three non-nationals want the right to vote in Barbados’ next elections. And they are going to court on November 14 to try to secure that right.
On November 2, Guyanese Shireene Ann Mathlin-Tulloch, through attorneys Bryan Weekes and Wilfred Abrahams, filed a suit in the High Court against the Chief Electoral Officer and the Attorney General challenging a decision by the Chief Electoral Officer to not register her as an elector in the 2018 general election.
Mathlin-Tulloch, who is also a Grenadian by descent, has been living and working in Barbados since 2001.
She has been joined in her suit by attorney Sharon Juliet Edgecombe-Miller, who holds British citizenship as a result of being born in Montserrat, a British territory, and who has worked and lived in Barbados for 17 years, and Jamaican Michelle Melissa Russell, also an attorney, who has been here working for 14 years.
