ECJ to announce start date for voter ID renewal soon
KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Electoral Commission of Jamaica (ECJ) says it is working to commence the renewal of voter ID cards soon.
Addressing what it said was a recent circulation of misinformation on social media, the ECJ reminded that with the two-year extension given in 2017, all Voter ID cards remain valid until December of this year.
The commission said it is aware of the 2019 deadline and the importance of the ID card, adding: “It is with this in mind that the ECJ is working assiduously on ensuring that the process of renewal is smooth and effective.
“We are currently in the confirmation stages of the process and will soon advise the public on the start date for the Voter ID renewal exercise. At that stage, all questions will be answered regarding the documents needed, the process, the stations where renewal will be done and the requirements for renewal.”
The ECJ also apologised for any inconvenience caused and reassured the public that it continues to work towards ensuring free and fair elections by allowing one man, one vote.
