Mobile phones and smart watches will be collected upon entry and will not be permitted in the voting area. The commission also warned that voters must avoid disruptive or disrespectful behavior while at polling stations.
In addition, electors are not allowed to wear party colours when visiting polling stations, and no election paraphernalia is permitted within 100 yards of a polling location.
The guidelines form part of the commission’s broader effort to ensure that the by-election is conducted in a transparent, orderly, and lawful manner.
Residents of St. Philip North are being encouraged to participate in the democratic process and adhere to the rules so that voting can proceed efficiently on election day.
