Early, orderly voting in St George

It was quiet and smooth in St George this morning as people came out to vote, some as early as 5 a.m.

The parish is divided into two constituencies – North and South. In the North, Toni Moore is representing the Barbados Labour Party (BLP) against the Democratic Labour Party’s (DLP) David Walrond. In the South, the BLP’s Dwight Sutherland, the DLP’s Felicia Dujon and independent candidate Suzanne Holligan are contesting the constituency.

At the Valley Resource Centre, people were lining up before the 6 a.m. start, and by 6:30 a.m., the lines were noticeably shorter. Each voter was sanitised upon arrival and waited to be called inside. 

While at St George Secondary School, the process at the school involved getting your name checked at the gate by the traffic clerk before heading inside. Voters there were lining up from before 5 a.m. (CA)
