The Antigua & Barbuda Electoral Commission (ABEC) has launched a nationwide voter registration initiative, establishing a comprehensive network of registration units across all constituencies to facilitate democratic participation. This strategic deployment ensures accessibility for citizens throughout the twin-island nation.
In St. John’s urban areas, registration services are centralized at key locations: Villa Primary School serves St. John’s City West, while the Central Registration Unit on Factory Road accommodates both St. John’s City East and City South constituencies. Rural constituencies surrounding the capital benefit from diverse venues including the Multipurpose Cultural & Exhibition Centre (Rural West), Noel Nyah Roberts Sports Complex (Rural South), Chaia’s Building opposite the Lions Den (Rural East), and Yorks Community Centre (Rural North).
Beyond the capital region, registration facilities span the entire country: St. Mary’s North utilizes the Former Christian Faith Academy on Valley Road, while St. Mary’s South operates from Turner’s Apartments in Bolans. All Saints East & St. Luke constituents can register at the Roman Catholic Church Hall on Roman Hill, with All Saints West utilizing the Former Community Access Centre.
Additional constituencies feature strategically chosen locations: St. George at Potters Village, St. Peter at Precision Centre in Paynters, St. Philip North at Glanvilles Community Centre, and St. Philip South at the St. Philip Post Office. St. Paul residents will register at the Former Real Local Art Gallery on Horsford Hill, while Barbudans are served at the Low School on the sister island.
The Commission has established extended operating hours to maximize accessibility, maintaining weekday operations from 8:30 AM to 7:00 PM and weekend hours from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM until further notice. This schedule accommodates both traditional and non-traditional work hours, ensuring broad demographic access.
The ABEC, headquartered on Queen Elizabeth Highway in St. John’s, encourages all eligible citizens to complete their registration promptly. Further information is available through their official communication channels and website at www.abec.gov.ag.
