Following the prorogation of the House, here are some guidelines surrounding voter registration.
1. FIRST-TIME VOTERS
- Take your passport to the Parliamentary Registration Department or any of their satellite locations and register for the area where you live
- You will NOT be required to provide proof of address, but you will be asked to take an oath confirming your residence
2. IF YOU VOTED IN THE LAST ELECTION AND HAVE NOT MOVED
- You are still on the register for your constituency and can vote in the upcoming election
- Even if you do not have your voter’s card, you can still vote once you present valid identification on election day
- It is encouraged to visit the PRD to verify your details, but this is not legally required for voting
3. IF IMPACTED BY BOUNDARIES CHANGE
- The register should reflect that your polling division or constituency has changed due to boundary adjustments
- Even if your voter’s card has old information, you can still vote with a valid ID once you confirm your correct constituency and polling division
- Verification and updating your voter’s card are encouraged but NOT required
4. IF YOU HAVE MOVED
- Less than 3 months ago: You MUST vote in your previous constituency
- Between 3–12 months ago: You MAY either vote at your previous address or transfer to your new one
- More than 12 months ago: You MUST transfer your registration to your current constituency
- When transferring, you do NOT need proof of address, but you will be required to take an oath confirming your information
IMPORTANT TO NOTE
Verification and biometric cards are ENCOURAGED, but they are NOT required for voting once you are properly registered
