EBC eliminates 27 voters

The Elections and Boundaries Commission (EBC) has removed 27 names from its list of registered electors, according to a statement yesterday. The EBC said it had received objections to 30 names in preparation for the upcoming local government elections. Upon investigation, three names were seen to be properly included on the list and were allowed to remain. The other 27 names were the subject of an inquiry on Monday at the San Fernando/Penal/Debe EBC Office, attended by the persons objecting. The statement concluded: “It was ruled that all 27 names be removed from the list for the following reasons — 13 persons had migrated, eight had moved from addresses listed, five could not be located even after field checks, and one person had died. The EBC is now preparing its Revised List of Electors which is expected to be published on June 23, 2003”.
