St Vincent ready for constitutional vote

The Electoral Commission in St Vincent and the Grenadines said it will extend the opening times of polling stations to ensure all voters get the chance to have their say in tomorrow’s historic constitutional referendum.



More than 98 thousand people are eligible to vote in the referendum.



Among the key issues voters are being asked to support is whether the country should ditch the Queen in favour of Republican status.



The Commission said the 225 polling stations will be open from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. with results expected by midnight tomorrow.
