After it was revealed that some voters registered for the upcoming general election more than once, Deputy Prime Minister Philip Brave Davis said he is "not concerned" about potential voter fraud, as it all could very likely be a misunderstanding.
"I'm not concerned about it," Davis told reporters outside the Office of the Prime Minister on Tuesday.
"I don't know what [caused] those double registrations.
"There are a lot of misconceptions out there in the minds of the Bahamian public.
"For example, I know of persons who were querying having registered and not gotten their card when they heard that the register had, in fact, closed.
"So they questioned whether they had to register again.
"So I can't speak to whether it was deliberate or if it was a complete misunderstanding on behalf of electors.
"I think it is something the Parliamentary Registration Department should investigate and deal with."
On Monday, Parliamentary Commissioner Sherlyn Hall made the revelation.
He said, "We have noticed that people have been registered twice, so we have to delete their cards.
"They were registered at one station today; tomorrow with another station.
"Now, we have picked it up, but after the stuff has [already] been keyed into a computer database.
"So the computer picks it up.
"As I said earlier, that is dishonesty, and I did refer a particular case to the police, where someone registered within five days, two different locations, same constituency, but different locations for the same polling division."
When asked whether it may have been the intention of the person to collect two voter's cards, Hall said, "Well, you tell me. Why do you want to register twice? What does that tell you? Less than a week? That's dishonesty."
As of Saturday, there were 146,326 people registered to vote.
