St Helena goes to the polls next week on Wednesday, 17 March 2021, after Legislative Council unanimously agreed that a Consultative Poll on Governance Reform be held on St Helena.
The Poll will ask the public if the current Governance System should be changed, and if so, whether it should be changed to a Revised Committee System or a Ministerial System.
LAST CHANCE TO REGISTER ON THE SUPPLEMENTAL LIST
To be able to vote in the Poll on Polling Day, persons MUST be included within the Register of Electors or the Supplemental List of Individuals for this Poll only.
This is now your last chance to apply for inclusion on the Supplemental List with the deadline set to 4pm tomorrow, Wednesday 10 March 2021.
Application forms for inclusion on the Supplemental List can be collected from the Castle Reception, Customer Services Centre, Public Library, and are available on the SHG website: https://www.sainthelena.gov.sh/government/public-information/.
Alternatively, forms can be obtained from Registration Officer, Carol George, via email: carol.george@sainthelena.gov.sh.
