The Antigua and Barbuda Electoral Commission (ABEC) is reminding residents with expired Voter ID Cards to visit their local Registration Units to update their information and apply for a replacement card.
The Commission emphasizes that the Voter’s Identification Card is a key document that confirms the eligibility to vote. A valid Voter’s ID Card is crucial, not only for participating in elections but also for various transactions that require official identification at businesses and government departments.
The Commission has made the replacement of the Voter’s ID cards accessible and as simple as possible, taking no more than seven minutes per person. Registration Units across the state are open and ready to serve with teams that remain committed to assisting every eligible voter in updating their demographics.
The Expired Voter’s ID Card Replacement Programme began on August 12, 2024 in all 17 constituencies. As part of the process, eligible voters are asked to walk with their expired Voter’s ID card, a valid government issued ID, proof of address and any documents updating their marital status. Cards will be updated with a new photo, signature, validated with fingerprints and will be available from the same Registration Unit within three weeks of an application.
