The Organization of American States Electoral Observation Mission (OAS/EOM) in Jamaica, led by the former Prime Minister of Saint Lucia, Kenny D. Anthony, encourages all registered voters to exercise the right to cast their ballot during the General Elections tomorrow. This right is essential to protecting, strengthening, and guaranteeing Jamaica's commitment to democracy.
The Mission also takes this opportunity to recognize in advance the efforts of election day workers, party agents, and security personnel who will facilitate voting. It is crucial that all citizens and stakeholders demonstrate the civil maturity that has characterized this electoral process.
From the opening until the closing of the polls, the members of the Mission will observe the vote in polling centers in all 14 parishes of Jamaica. The information gathered, along with the observations the OAS/EOM has collected during its deployment, will allow for the preparation of a report that highlights best practices, as well as areas for improvement and strengthening of the electoral system.
This is the fourth (4) OAS Electoral Observation Mission in Jamaica, and it is made possible thanks to the financial contributions of Canada, Chile, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Peru, Spain, Switzerland and the United States.
