The T&T Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS) says while it main­tained a strong op­er­a­tional pres­ence dur­ing elec­tion day 2025 yes­ter­day, sev­er­al ir­reg­u­lar­i­ties were re­port­ed and are cur­rent­ly un­der in­ves­ti­ga­tion.

The Na­tion­al Joint Ac­tion Com­mit­tee (NJAC) has con­grat­u­lat­ed the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress (UNC) and the Coali­tion of In­ter­ests on what it de­scribed as “a well-de­served vic­to­ry in the 2025 Gen­er­al Elec­tions,” while urg­ing the new ad­min­is­tra­tion to pur­sue a more eq­ui­table mod­el of na­tion­al de­vel­op­ment.

Elec­tion work­ers at a mock polling sta­tion along Up­per Mt Hope Road, Mt Hope, were fright­ened yes­ter­day, af­ter gun­shots were fired less than 150 feet from where they were sta­tioned.

In an in­ter­view ear­li­er to­day, THA Chief Sec­re­tary Far­ley Au­gus­tine pro­vid­ed an up­date on his ex­pe­ri­ence at the polling sta­tion and the over­all progress of the elec­tion.

The slow pace of vot­ing in hot­ly con­test­ed mar­gin­al con­stituen­cies in Trinidad ear­ly yes­ter­day morn­ing drew the ire of the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress (UNC).

The Trinidad and To­ba­go Postal Cor­po­ra­tion (TTPOST) has con­firmed the de­liv­ery of all polling cards in its pos­ses­sion to cit­i­zens ahead of to­day’s Gen­er­al Elec­tion.

As Trinidad and To­ba­go awakes to this year’s Gen­er­al Elec­tion, Chair­man of the Coun­cil for Re­spon­si­ble Po­lit­i­cal Be­hav­iour, Dr Bish­nu Ra­goonath, has com­mend­ed the over­all con­duct of the elec­tion cam­paigns run by the po­lit­i­cal par­ties de­spite iso­lat­ed in­ci­dents which would have caused dis­rup­tions.

The bat­tle of po­lit­i­cal gi­ants takes place from dawn to dusk (6 am to 6 pm) to­day with key mar­gin­al seats be­ing the tar­get - and heavy se­cu­ri­ty in play.

For­mer prime min­is­ter Dr Kei­th Row­ley and for­mer Na­pari­ma Mem­ber of Par­lia­ment Rod­ney Charles may have sig­nalled that they’ve had their last run in elec­tions, but oth­er politi­cians are not so open about their po­lit­i­cal fu­ture.

Ear­ly vot­ers in San Juan/Barataria say they faced lengthy wait times be­fore cast­ing their bal­lots on Mon­day morn­ing, ei­ther be­cause of long lines or an un­usu­al­ly longer vot­er process at some polling sta­tions

Gary Grif­fith, Po­lit­i­cal Leader of the Na­tion­al Trans­for­ma­tion Al­liance (NTA), dis­cussed the on­go­ing gen­er­al elec­tion, not­ing that it has been a clean elec­tion thus far. He com­mend­ed the ef­forts of the Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice, the Elec­tions and Bound­aries Com­mis­sion (EBC), and the CARI­COM and Com­mon­wealth ob­servers. "This is ex­act­ly what this coun­try need­ed at this time," he said, high­light­ing the im­por­tance of en­sur­ing trans­paren­cy and le­git­i­ma­cy in the elec­toral process. He fur­ther stat­ed that any doubts re­gard­ing the le­git­i­ma­cy of the elec­tion could lead to in­sta­bil­i­ty and af­fect the coun­try’s pro­duc­tiv­i­ty.

The Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS) will have over 2000 of­fi­cers on pa­trol to­day.
