We need a voters ID card with specifics on there: a pictorial ID because an identification card without a picture is of no value\u2026your name, date of birth, registration number, polling station number and so once this prescribed information is entered on a card, it will guarantee the Dominican people who will be voting in the electoral process, that they are more secure,&#8221; Durand explained.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">He maintains that the Electoral Office has the legal authority to issue voter ID cards pointing out that according to the law, &#8220;the Chief Registering Officer may cause identification cards containing prescribed information to be issued in accordance with the regulations.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Another area of contention between the government and electoral reform advocates is the proposed amendment to the Registration of Electors Act to authorize the Electoral Commission &#8220;to designate the office of any mission or embassy of the State or any other place approved by the Commission as a registration office in order to facilitate persons residing overseas.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Durand says The CCM is opposed to this measure because they believe that the intent of the amendment is to target overseas areas with\u00a0 large Dominican populations and this, he says, will inevitably disenfranchise Dominicans in non-targeted countries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">&#8220;We know Dominicans are living all over the world. If you don\u2019t bring that information or give that person that opportunity that\u2019s maybe living in Jerusalem, in China, in Zimbabwe by having an enrollment officer physically come to them where they are\u2026. then what the commission is doing or is seeking to do is to disenfranchise these people themselves,&#8221; he posited.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u201cEverything that is happening in relation to elections [is] supposed to be happening in Dominica,\u201d the CCM president contends.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As the staging of what has been dubbed an Election Reform Day rally in Roseau today, draws nearer, president of the Concerned Citizens Movement (CCM), Loftus Durand, is reiterating the organization&#8217;s commitment to ensure free and fair elections through electoral&#8230;","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":215297,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","footnotes":""},"categories":[11,235,9,12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-227950","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general","category-homepage-carousel","category-news","category-politics"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
