Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit took the opportunity to assert that every citizen living in Dominica and abroad who is a registered voter needs to take part in the confirmation process.<\/p>\n
At his end-of-year press conference recently, the prime minister urged the public to join the reported 9,000 Dominicans who have confirmed their registration since the voter confirmation process got underway on October 15, 2025.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is not a time to stay away or to be discouraged.\u00a0 It is a time to engage,\u201d he said. \u201cConfirming your registration is your right, and it is also your responsibility. Successful introduction of electoral reform in 2025 is also putting people first.\u00a0 And so far, over 9,000 Dominicans \u00a0have confirmed their registration.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to Skerrit, the confirmation process has been designed to be simple, \u00a0accessible, and convenient.<\/p>\n
Furthemore, the Prime Minister said his government successfully implemented electoral reform measures in 2025, \u00a0seeking to strengthen the integrity the transparency, and credibility of our democratic system.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter nearly two decades of national discussion, consultation and advocacy, Parliament passed the necessary legislation to modernize Dominica’s electoral framework,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
He added that through the confirmation process, registered voters are asked to visit designated confirmation centers to verify the information, \u00a0present the required identification, \u00a0have the photographs taken, and confirm eligibility under the new system.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis exercise allows for the cleaning and updating of the voters’ lists, \u00a0and paves the way for the issuance of voter identification cards, \u00a0ensuring that the register accurately reflects those who are legitimately entitled to vote in Dominica’s election,\u201d Skerrit emphasized.<\/p>\n
