Four Simple Steps to Voting

Step 1: Register to vote
If you are not yet registered to vote, go to the electoral office on Central Street in Basseterre immediately to get registered. Take a photo ID such as a passport, drivers' license or social security card with you.

Step 2: Find out where to vote
You can only vote in the constituency you are registered in. Check the Voters List to see which constituency and polling division you are registered in. Polling stations will be set up on Election Day in each polling division in your constituency. The locations of polling stations will be published in the community and in the newspapers before Election Day. You will have to go to a specific polling station to vote.
