Elections Dept. to Visit Buena Vista for Voter Registration

The Elections and Boundaries Department has announced that a team of officers will be visiting Buena Vista Village in the Cayo District on January 5th, 2025, to accept applications for voter registration and distribute voter identification cards. The visit will cater to residents of Buena Vista, Selena, San Marcos, Santa Teresita, La Gracia, Yalbac, and Georgeville. The registration and ID distribution will take place at the Buena Vista Community Centre from 9:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M.

To qualify for registration, individuals must be at least 18 years old, a citizen of Belize or a Commonwealth country, and have resided in Belize for at least 12 months. Additionally, applicants must have lived in the electoral division where they seek registration for no less than two months.

Those registering are required to provide valid original documents such as a Belizean birth certificate, a Belize nationality certificate with a Social Security card, or a certified photograph signed by a Justice of the Peace. A Belizean or Commonwealth passport is also acceptable.

For those who have been registered as electors since July 2, 2018, but have not yet received their voter identification card, this is an opportunity to pick it up. The Elections and Boundaries Department encourages all eligible residents of the listed villages to take advantage of this registration and ID issuance session.
