The Electoral Office of Jamaica (EOJ) says that the May 31 voters’ list has been published as scheduled.

In a statement, the EOJ noted that a total of 24,461 names have been added, bringing the total number of registered voters to 2,077,799. The newly registered voters are now eligible vote in future elections and referenda.

Electors added to the May 31 list will be able to collect their voter ID cards by the end of June at the EOJ constituency office, where they are registered.

Persons wishing to become registered voters are required to visit any EOJ constituency office and
apply. The deadline to register for the November 30 voters’ list is September 30.
Individuals who are currently registered are advised not to reapply.

Given the impending general election, the EOJ is urging all registered voters who have not
collected their renewed voter ID card to do so as early as possible.

Additionally, voter ID cards were automatically renewed for some electors registered in 2016 or after; electors who were registered during that period and did not receive the new ID card are being asked to contact their constituency office.
