The announcement was made by chief electoral officer Manuella Amesbury during a press conference held yesterday afternoon at the commission’s headquarters, Mont Fleuri, in the presence of the chief registration officer, Sheena Max, the senior legal officer, Florie Benstrong, and other members and staff of the commission.
