For example, we could look at a ten-year period but with other considerations,\u201d Lawrence said<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He argued that Dominicans have migrated for better economic possibilities but they are in contact with their families and are contributing to the economy by sending remittances and food.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOn the other hand, someone could leave Australia and come to Dominica and after one year of residence they can vote\u2026but one would want to prevent a Dominican from voting\u2026that five-year limitation is unnecessary and should be removed from the law,\u201d he contended.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But Marsh told Dominica News Online in an interview Monday, that the arguments by his learned friend could have been made to suit a specific cause.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI suspect one may be able to make such arguments that suit their cause with respect to who should be eligible to vote or be removed from the list of electors after a five-year period of absence from the jurisdiction,\u201d Marsh said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He said the requirement in question serves to protect the integrity of the whole electoral process and is meant to prevent the practice of politicians shuffling persons they believe are sympathetic to their cause to come in, illegally cast their ballot and return the following day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cPerhaps what is truly archaic and represents a carryover from colonization is the eligibility of Commonwealth citizens to vote in Dominica only after a one-year residence requirement. If any part of the legislation needs changing is this particular provision,\u201d Marsh insists.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, Marsh said the truth for Dominican citizens is that they are eligible to register to vote in Dominica after three months of residency.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBoth Dominicans [overseas] and Commonwealth citizens are subject to removal after a five-year absence. Commonwealth citizens enjoy no greater rights than Dominicans with respect to eligibility to register,\u201d he explained further.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marsh, who was recently called to the bar in Dominica, said the law should be amended to allow only those who truly see Dominica as their homes, the right to vote.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOur voting population around the Caribbean is simply too small to afford otherwise,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dominican Attorney Wayne Marsh is not supporting suggestions by one of his colleagues that the five-year eligibility requirement for Dominican voters who live abroad should be removed.
