CARICOM Report Calls for Election Reforms | Bahamas News

Published 5 days, 22 hours ago
Description

CARICOM’s election observers gave The Bahamas’ 2026 vote a clean bill of health—election day ran smoothly, results were credible—but they’re calling for serious upgrades to make future elections even better. Key fixes? Sharper election administration, revamped voter registration, clearer campaign finance rules, and stronger civic education—especially for youth. Media access and public communication also need boosting. These points align closely with ORG’s long-standing reform agenda, which backs biometric voter registration (with privacy safeguards and public education), more resources and independence for election bodies, and year-round prep instead of last-minute scrambles. It’s not just about fixing flaws—it’s about building a resilient, trusted electoral system for the future.
