Eligible voters told to partake in ongoing voter registration
A notice from the Office of the Supervisor of Election said as per section (2) of the Virgin Islands Constitution Order, 2007, an individual must be a Belonger 18 years of age or older, and domiciled in the Virgin Islands.
“Persons must present a Virgin Islands Passport, with embossed seal, a Belonger’s Card or Belonger’s Certificate to register. A Naturalisation Certificate can also be used, provided the certificate is dated before June 15, 2007.”
Transfer to a different district
Further, section 17(1) of the Elections (Amendment) Act No. 14 of 2011 states, “A registered voter who is ordinarily resident in the Territory and who moves his place of residence from within one local electoral district or polling division to another, may have his name transferred to the list of voters for the local electoral district or polling division to which he has moved, if he applies on Form No. 9 and establishes, to the satisfaction of the Supervisor of Elections, proof of residence within the local electoral district or polling division to which he/she has moved’’.
The elections office noted that those who have moved their place of residence and wish to transfer are encouraged to apply for a transfer. The supporting documents for the transfer can be in the form of cable, water, electricity, or telephone bills, a rent receipt, a lease agreement or a notarised document stating the new address.
The office added, “Registration and Transfer forms are available at the Office of the Supervisor of Elections, Road Town Post Office, the District Offices on Anegada and Virgin Gorda and the Government Office on Jost Van Dyke. Additionally, these forms are accessible online on the government website.”
