NASSAU, BAHAMAS — The advance poll in Barbados will be held on Friday due to pandemic restrictions that require the designated presiding officer to be quarantined.
In an amendment to the emergency powers order last night, Prime Minister Dr Hubert Minnis said those circumstances shall be deemed beyond the control of the presiding officer and would make it impractical to conduct the poll tomorrow.
The order “modified” the Parliamentary Elections Act “as if a reference to the words ‘continue the taking of the poll on that day, he may adjourn the proceedings until the following day’ includes a reference to the words ‘the taking of the poll on that day, he may reschedule the proceedings to the following day’”.
The advance poll will be held tomorrow between the hours of 8am and 6pm in all other jurisdictions.
