Cayman: Mobile Voting to begin next week

With postal voting already underway for the 2021 General Election, the Elections Office has announced the dates, times and locations for mobile voting.

For those physically unable to visit the mobile voting locations, such as those in hospital or a residential care facility, a mobile team from the Elections Office will visit them between 9am and 6pm. In all locations except Little Cayman, if voting is not completed by 6pm, the team will continue polling voters the following day during the same hours. 

Mobile voting is available to any registered voter who is on island and is unable to visit a polling station on Election Day because of the general nature of that person’s occupation, service or employment, but that person can attend an early “mobile” station. These individuals will be able to attend the mobile polling locations at the dates and times published in the table below.

The deadline for mobile and postal voting applications is Tuesday, 6 April. Application forms and more details are available at elections.ky.

For the majority of electoral districts, there are two opportunities for mobile voting. Those who qualify for mobile voting and are first-time voters or whose change of address officially comes into effect in the 1 April Register of Electors, will be able to vote after 1 April 2021 on their electoral district’s mobile voting date.

The Elections Act (2021 Revision) permits individuals who are absent or are likely to be absent from the islands on Election Day to vote via postal ballot.

Given the current uncertainties around travel due to the COVID-19 pandemic, individuals travelling in the weeks leading up to Election Day on Wednesday, 14 April may encounter disruptions to their plans. As such, voters who are planning a return trip to the Cayman Islands at the end of March or early April are strongly encouraged to apply for postal voting at their earliest convenience.

The Elections Office continues to work closely with Public Health officials on safe mobile voting arrangements for those remaining voters who will be quarantining in the days leading up to and including Election Day and were not able to vote via postal ballot. Tentative dates for mobile isolation/quarantine voting have been set for 10 and 11 April.

Further details and confirmation on dates will be provided to the public in the coming days. The deadline for applying for this special isolation/quarantine mobile voting is also Tuesday, 6 April.
