Belizeans React to March 12 General Election Announcement

Belize’s general elections are set for March twelfth, 2025, and a recent online poll shows voters have mixed feelings about the timing. The poll asked Belizeans if they thought the election date was a good idea. Most respondents, one thousand, two hundred and two people, said they were ready to vote. Another one hundred and six agreed the timing was right, while three hundred and seventy-two felt it was politically motivated. Seventy-four voters thought more notice should have been given, and one hundred and twenty were undecided. Public comments reflected these mixed feelings. One disillusioned voter said, “I care less. I will still struggle under any of the parties. Let them be happy and continue enriching themselves.” On the other hand, a more enthusiastic supporter declared, “I am excited. I am ready for the P.U.P. Why vote for a party that can’t even decide who their leader is?” The announcement has officially kicked off the campaign season, with political parties rallying their supporters and strategizing for the election.
