The Electoral and Boundaries Commission in Barbados has been advised not to make any definitive statements on whether people who tested positive for COVID-19 and were in isolation would be allowed to vote in the January 19 General Election.
Board member and attorney-at-law Hal Gollop issued the note of caution during a media conference that was streamed live.
He said the laws of Barbados did not contemplate anything other than in-person voting and any decision should maintain the integrity of the electoral process.
Ronald Chapman, head of the COVID-19 Monitoring Unit, has declared that individuals who test positive for COVID-19 will not be allowed to exercise their constitutional right to vote in the election.
