The Parliamentary Representative for the Marigot Constituency, Hon. Anthony Samora Charles, has declared his full support for the Government of Dominica’s Electoral Reform Bills, which were presented for their second and third readings in Parliament on Wednesday."I stand for this bill to be passed, because we have to start somewhere. We have to give and take and this is not about political parties showing how strong they are or the government flexing their muscles. This is about democracy,” he stated.
“We need to work together, simple.” He added.
The Government introduced three key pieces of legislation aimed at strengthening the country’s electoral system: the Registration of Electors Bill & Regulations (2024), the House of Assembly (Elections) & Registration Bill (2024), and the Electoral Commission Bill (2024).These measures are designed to enhance electoral integrity, increase transparency and modernise voting procedures in line with international best practices.
Among new measures, the Registration of Electors Act provides for the introduction of mandatory voter confirmation within a 12-month period, requiring individuals to present valid documentation for verification. Additionally, Voter Identification Cards will be issued, incorporating key identifying information such as a photograph and advanced security features.
