The Office of the Supervisor of Elections is urging eligible people to register as voters as part of the office’s continuous voter registration process.
A statement from the Office of the Supervisor of Elections described an eligible voter and a Belonger who is 18 years of age or older and domiciled in the Virgin Islands.
Interested individuals must present documents including a Virgin Islands Passport with an embossed seal or a Belonger’s Card or a Belonger’s Certificate. A Naturalisation Certificate can also be used, providing the certificate is dated before June 15, 2007.
People are also being urged to use this time to make requests for a change in electoral district following a change of residence from one electoral district or polling division to another.
