Elections and Boundaries announces issuance date of Voters ID Cards

The first phase will include all electors whose application were accepted in July 2018 and subsequently approved at revision court.

Dates and location for pickup will be announced for villages.

The department also advises that ID cards will also be distributed by Elections and Boundaries personnel at the polling stations on Referendum Day, for electors who did not have an opportunity to pick up their ID cards prior to Referendum Day.

Electors are also advised that commencing February 27, 2019, persons will be able to visit the Elections and Boundaries Department’s website at www.elections.gov.bz to view a list of the names of persons whose ID cards are ready for pick up.

Voters are further advised that they are allowed to vote in the Referendum without presenting their Voter ID card as the registration record card for each voter is available at the polling station as it is also used to verify voters.

The Department thanks the public for their patience and understanding and reaffirms its commitment to complete the processing of all ID cards in advance of the Referendum date.
