The Dominica Electoral Office has encouraged eligible voters to complete the voter confirmation process before the deadline arrives, announcing that the voter confirmation period has entered its final quarter with the deadline set to October 15, 2026.
This announcement was made by Chief Election Officer, Anthea Joseph, who reported that a total of 20,454 voters have applied for voter confirmation and that 19,007 of those applications have already approved. In addition, she confirmed that out of the 1,735 people who submitted their applications for new voter registration, 1,489 have been approved. In the released audio statement, Josseph reminded the voters that failure to get oneself confirmed before the October 15 deadline will lead to complete removal of one’s name from the voters list. This will hinder the voter from participating in village council elections or general elections until their eligibility to vote is restored as according to the law. She informed the citizens that the voter confirmation process takes approximately 30 minutes and that there is an alternative process for those who do not possess a valid government-issued ID.
Instead of the IDs, the Electoral Office will accept an affidavit signed by either a Justice of the Peace, Notary Public or Commissioner of Oaths, along with a passport-sized photograph and a birth certificate.
“Take about 30 minutes out of your day and secure your opportunity to exercise one of the most important democratic rights,” urged the Officer.
Dominica Electoral Office continues in its awareness campaign to reach more eligible voters an increase participation.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
