Voter in Mesopotamia Admits to Selling Vote

As Belizeans cast their ballots in the 2025 general elections, reports of vote-buying continue to surface. In an exclusive interview with News Five, one voter in the Mesopotamia division openly admitted to receiving money in exchange for his vote.

Speaking outside polling station number 14, the voter confirmed that this was his first time voting. When asked why he participated in the election, he stated bluntly, “I just come and collect and thing.”

He said he received $100 from both sides. “I dont know about anybody else but that is what thye have to do for me to come out and vote and try to get something. I just get a hundred from each party because i have to collect, as I said.”

He was unsure if other voters in the area had similar experiences. When questioned about whether he believed his vote held any significance beyond financial gain, he responded affirmatively, stating that people often ask for assistance and that this was one way to receive something in return.
