  • Do not sell, offer to sell or give away intoxicating liquor at any premises licensed to sell liquor.
  • Do not congregate within 100 yards of the polling station (unless you are waiting to vote or can lawfully be at the station).
  • Do not try to influence any elector to vote for any candidate or determine for which candidate any elector intends to vote or has voted for on any public road or in any public place within 100 yards of the polling station.
  • There should be absolutely no political paraphernalia (flags, posters, etc.) / party symbols indicating how to mark the Ballot.
  • Do not use or wear, or give to any person to use or wear, any flag, ribbon, label, or other favour, within any constituency as a party badge to distinguish the wearer as a supporter of any candidate. (This excludes supplying banners with only the name of a candidate or the words “Vote for” followed by the name of the Candidate, or any favour with the symbol of the candidate or using these on vehicles.)
  • Do not carry, wear or use, or give to any person to carry, wear or use, any loudspeaker, bunting, ensign, standard, or set of colours, or any other flag on motor cars, trucks or other vehicles, as political propaganda.

    Ibo France, please go to the polls today to elect a new visionary leader. No other than the Supreme Leader, Roosevelt Skerrit. It is your civic duty. Forget about ugly Lenny and bogoroy Fontaine and shinning teeth Clement Marcellin.

    Without REFORM there should not be any election. The reason for all this information is nothing but false pretense! The fact that they say there is election in Dominica today is proof that
    1. The election commission is FAkE
    2. Charles Savarin, who is Skerrit’s president for such a time as this is Fake
    3. Roosevelt Skerrit we all know is FAkE, corrupt like the Devil and is bent on doing all that is necessary to hide behind public office just to hide from international prosecution
    all the above confirms that election is fake and the result is purchased on credit card that will be denied
