Issues to assess but election day successful — EOJ
KINGSTON, Jamaica — While there are issues to review, Director of Elections Glasspole Brown said the Electoral Office of Jamaica (EOJ) executed a very good election.
“The day started well. 99.4 per cent of our polling stations opened on time. For me, that was very good. The other aspect of it, all our workers were in place…I think we did a very good execution of the election today. As I said earlier, there are some issues that we need to review, and we’ll do that tomorrow,” he explained.
Residents had complained about the length of time spent waiting to vote in some areas as well as the suspension of the Electronic Voter Identification System (EVIS).
Speaking after the close of polls Brown said, “I think at the end of the day, you’ll see that we executed a lecture that was free and fair, and was devoid of any intimidation. We await the review of the observers… So overall, I think we did a very good lecture in terms of our execution of the arrangement.”
