normal practice to make sure parties get their numbers. They all do it.

They have a 'fair guesstimate' of who voting for which party already. If you are sick, live alone, or usually a homebody for whatever reason - they would dispatch different communtuty volunteer teams to transport you to and from the voting centre free.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Cause its your civic right plus if yuh na vote yuh shouldnt complaint cause u were a bystander in the process

GO OUT & VOTE !!!!

Why?

1: once i paying taxes I could complain how much I want

2: what if I don't like my candidate? I must go with the sheep and say to hell with it?

3: results later will prove my point....majority of the electorate believe in unc/pnm

You can exercise your right to spoil your ballot.

Not voting is the same as voting for pnm

i agree with you here. but maj. tom also made some insightful comments as well.

[Dohplaydat]

No body forcing you to vote, but generally in order to keep any government on their toes always vote of the opposition even if you don't like them.

It sends a message that non performance will not be tolerated that's all.

Put your X by the balisier..

[MaxPower]

voted an hour ago. come on ppl we complain all the time about the state of our country - well today is your chance to voice your discontent.

red,

Is UNC really the savior for T&T?

[AbstractPoetic]

There are several watch parties being hosted tonight here in the USA. Many are interested in seeing results come in live. Many more in attendance are those hoping to repatriate back home to retire or turn a new chapter in their lives, but they fear to return under current leadership.

I am hoping for the best but expecting a return to status quo. That said, many in my family have confirmed they voted for someone different. And I have family running for PNM seats.

See you all later this evening.

[Kickstart]

I hope allya put allya X by the Balisier...

Golden Grove & Remand yard already voted. They inside

didn't vote for them for LGE. but for the next General elections if they going to allow more ppl to defend themselves with firearms against pests breaking into your home then why not? the least a Govt should do if they can't protect u is allow u to protect yourself. TTPS is a waste of time - they will show up when your dead body on the floor, and that is IF they have a vehicle!

[teems1]

Everyone is beating down PNM/Rowley/Rohan/MoW for the bad state of the roads.

He's just doing this to reduce his opex for the year. What we need to be sure of, is that the moneys which would have usually gone to paving, was redirected to next year's budget or allocated somewhere else.

That is Kamla's job to do.

[FrankChag]

I don't vote for religious reasons, but my now-cynical mind can't help thinking:

serious?

Islam bars you from voting?

where you get that one from

These are well-known ruling from major scholars.

I'm more looking forward to the results tonight, going organize my snacks and drinks. Elections is the closest thing to a sporting event I does follow

[PariaMan]

Nah my area was only pnm and NTA

[facebookvideo][/facebookvideo]

Swing voter checking in. Rowley last time Gary this time

dont forget that NTA join with UNC so you would only see PNM and UNC options in many areas......

Wish I was back home to get local snacks, yes.

Enjoy!

So a candidate in my area who I vote for posting in a neighborhood WhatsApp group today to vote for him. We think it is a breach if law but he saying the law don't cover Whatsapp or social media posts. I tell him he better be careful.

[maj. tom]

Forward it to the TTPS. He talking bs. He could get away with a FB ad, but directly contacting ppl and telling how to vote is canvassing on election day.

[pugboy]

depending on which party ttps may not be interested

That’s canvassing. Obviously the original law didn’t cater for WhatsApp but the spirit of the law is that on the day all canvassing and electioneering stops.
I am a mango tree lawyer by the way. So my opinion really irrelevant

[paid_influencer]

i gone to vote but there was no PEP candidate on the ballot (???????????)

also is it normal for the ballot paper to have a buss near where they take it out from from leaflet book. mine had a buss

just asking, no offense, but if your religion condemns voting, does that mean the whole idea of democracy is haram?
