Atg: Will Antiguans vote?

Two working days before the general elections, there are approximately 2,000 voter identification cards still at the distribution centres throughout the constituencies, an official from the Antigua & Barbuda Electoral Commission said yesterday.

Assistant to the Chief Election Officer Ian Hughes told the SUN there was at least one constituency that still had about 300 voter ID cards that were yet to be collected and another had about 250.

The U.S. could learn a lot from the Caribbean on voter ID cards. Nobody is issued such a card without providing certain and sure proof of citizenship, thus reducing the likelihood of non-citizens and illegal aliens voting in elections.
