Government Reminds Public of Remaining Electoral Reform Town Halls
The Government reminds the public that several Electoral Reform Town Halls remain, offering residents continued opportunities to share their views on how the island’s voting system can be made easier, fairer, and more accessible.
The Minister for the Cabinet Office and Digital Innovation, the Hon. Diallo Rabain, JP, MP, explained, “Public feedback has made it clear that improvements to our electoral processes are needed. These town halls create the opportunity for residents to raise their concerns, propose solutions, and play an active role in strengthening Bermuda’s democratic system.”
Each session involves a brief presentation followed by a moderated discussion, giving attendees the opportunity to ask questions and contribute directly to the conversation.
Discussions continue to focus on key areas under consideration, including:
-
Implementing absentee voting for eligible Bermudian students studying overseas;
-
Establishing clear and transparent standards for political parties and campaign financing;
-
Ensuring the voters’ register remains accurate, private, and transparent;
-
Embracing practical modernisation of electoral systems and technology; and
-
Setting consistent and fair rules for polling day administration.
