Antigua and Barbuda has officially entered its general election period following the dissolution of Parliament.
A proclamation issued by Governor General Sir Rodney Williams and published in the Official Gazette on March 31 brought an end to the current parliamentary term. The action was taken in accordance with Section 60(1) of the Constitution on the advice of Prime Minister Gaston Browne.
With the dissolution, all members of both the House of Representatives and the Senate have vacated their seats, triggering the constitutional process toward general elections.
The government emphasized that dissolution is a routine democratic step, allowing citizens to elect a new administration within the legally prescribed timeframe. Electoral authorities are now expected to begin the administrative process required to conduct the polls.
Officials are urging eligible voters to confirm their registration status and ensure their voter identification cards are in order.
The government has also reaffirmed its commitment to a free, fair, and transparent electoral process, consistent with Antigua and Barbuda’s democratic traditions.
