Dominica Elections: CARICOM Observation Mission Issues Preliminary Statement

By Kendol Morgan Last updated Dec 12, 2014

From observations and information, most polling stations opened at the prescribed time of 7:00 am. The process started with complete transparency, where the ballot box could be viewed as empty, all supplies and materials were present at the polling station, the ballot was secured while voting was in progress and a full complement of trained staff were at their stations, ensuring that the process was conducted efficiently and effectively. There were a few polling stations that were a bit late in opening, but this did not affect the exercise of the franchise in a free and fair manner.
