Voters across St. Vincent are casting their ballots today in a closely watched general election in which Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves is seeking an unprecedented political tenure, with long lines forming at polling stations since early morning.
Polling stations across Kingstown and rural districts have reported steady voter turnout, with citizens patiently waiting in lines to exercise their democratic right.
The election, taking place on November 27, represents a critical moment for the Caribbean island nation, as the incumbent Unity Labour Party (ULP) seeks an extraordinary sixth consecutive term in office.
Polling stations opened at 7 am and will close at 5 pm, with 101,744 registered electors participating – a notable increase of 3,625 voters compared to the 2020 election cycle.
