Of those, 8,597 applications have already received approval.<\/p>\n<p>The Office also noted that since voter registration resumed, 1,053 people have applied to become new electors. Thus far, 829 of those applications have been approved.<\/p>\n<p>Officials are encouraging all eligible citizens to take part in the process ahead of the October 2026 deadline for voter confirmation. Persons who have not yet completed their confirmation are being urged to do so early rather than waiting until the closing weeks of the exercise.<\/p>\n<p>To make the process easier and more accessible, the Electoral Office said several measures have been introduced to assist individuals who may have had challenges reaching their assigned confirmation centres.<\/p>\n<p>Among the initiatives currently underway are home visits using mobile voter confirmation kits. Schedules for those visits are being published on the Electoral Office\u2019s website and social media pages.<\/p>\n<p>The Office has also established a centralized confirmation service every Tuesday at the Windsor Park Sports Stadium. The initiative is designed to accommodate electors who live or work near Roseau but are registered in constituencies outside the capital.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the Electoral Office recently introduced a \u201cStationed Voter Confirmation\u201d programme on Sundays. Information on the constituencies and communities included in the weekly schedule is also being shared online and through social media platforms.<\/p>\n<p>Confirmation centres in all constituencies continue to operate on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM, while Saturday hours are from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM.<\/p>\n<p>Members of the public seeking further information can contact the Voter Confirmation hotlines at 767-275-8164 or 767-617-9595.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Electoral Office of Dominica has reported continued progress in the ongoing voter confirmation exercise, with thousands of applications already processed as part of efforts to update the country\u2019s electoral records.
