Elections: EOJ says 99% of polling stations opened on time
The Electoral Office of Jamaica (EOJ) is reporting that all polling stations officially opened Wednesday, with 99.5 per cent of the staions opening on time at 7:00 am, and the remainder opening before 7:30 am.
With both general and local government elections occurring concurrently, the EOJ is reminding the general public to check their voter status and the location at which they are registered before heading to a polling station.
The EOJ noted that provisions were put in place to allow electors to speak with official EOJ personnel at voting locations who are able to verify their polling station information.
Polling stations will close Wednesday at 5:00 pm, after which preliminary counting of ballots will begin.
