BI-elections - Castries North/West Babonneau

August 20, 1998 - As the clock ticks down on the August 21st Bi-elections, the Electoral Department is reminding voters that elections begin from 6 a.m. and will run up until 6 p.m. According to Morrison Blanchard, the returning officer for the district, approximately 8,000 persons are registered to vote at the nine polling stations.

Voters are required to walk with some form of identification as they make their way to vote. An assistant poll clerk will be stationed at the larger polling centers to assist voters and to minimize congestion and confusion.

Employers have been reminded that it is an offence to deny employees time off from work to cast their ballots. The law allows for a provision of at least 2 hours.
