Ongoing voter registration and transfer
This, according to a Government Information Service (GIS) press release yesterday, November 22, 2018, which called on all other eligible persons to register to vote.
In accordance with Section 17(1) of the Elections (Amendment) Act No. 14 of 2011, persons who have moved their place of residence and wish to transfer are encouraged to apply for a transfer.
It states, “a registered voter who is ordinarily resident in the Territory and who moves his place of residence from within one local electoral district or polling division to another, may have his name transferred to the list of voters for the local electoral district or polling division to which he has moved, if he applies on Form No. 8 and establishes, to the satisfaction of the Supervisor of Elections, proof of residence within the local electoral district or polling division to which he has moved”.
Supporting documentary evidence can be in the form of Cable, Water or Electricity bills; a rent receipt, or a notarized document stating new address.
Registration and Transfer forms are available at the Office of the Supervisor of Elections, Post Offices throughout the Territory, the District Offices on Anegada and Virgin Gorda and the Government Office on Jost Van Dyke.
