It is the intention of the Mission to observe the activities of the poll in as many constituencies as possible and as many polling stations as time permits.  In this regard, the CEOM were present at a number of polling stations at the opening of the polls to observe the opening procedures, and will also be present  at the close of the polls to observe the closing procedures.  The voting process will be monitored during the course of the day; the Closing of the Poll will be observed; and finally, the tallying of the ballots will be observed by the CEOM.  The observation of the polls commenced with the Opening of the Poll at 7:00 a.m. and will end with the Closing of the Poll at 7:00 p.m.

The Mission will issue a Preliminary Statement at the conclusion of the Elections and a comprehensive Report will thereafter be submitted to H.E.  Ambassador Irwin LaRocque, Secretary-General of the Caribbean Community.
