The Electoral Office of Jamaica (EOJ) has announced that the deadline for registration of the next voters’ list is Wednesday (March 31).
Persons who wish to have their names added to the voters’ list must visit their constituency’s electoral office to apply.

Prospective applicants are being asked to prepare to have both their photographs and fingerprints taken.

Following the completion of their application, each applicant’s residence must be verified to complete the registration process.

Electors who meet the March 31 deadline can expect to receive their voter identification cards by mid-June and the updated voters’ list will be made available as of May 31.
