Pre­lim­i­nary da­ta re­leased by the Elec­tions and Bound­aries Com­mis­sion (EBC) fol­low­ing Trinidad and To­ba­go’s 2025 Gen­er­al Elec­tion high­lights sig­nif­i­cant trends in vot­er en­gage­ment and par­ty per­for­mance across the coun­try’s 41 con­stituen­cies.

Ac­cord­ing to the EBC, the elec­tion saw a na­tion­al vot­er turnout of 53.92%, rep­re­sent­ing 622,181 votes cast out of a to­tal elec­torate of 1,153,876 reg­is­tered vot­ers. While this marks a mod­est de­cline from pre­vi­ous elec­tions, sev­er­al con­stituen­cies record­ed no­tably high lev­els of par­tic­i­pa­tion and wide mar­gins of vic­to­ry for lead­ing can­di­dates.

High mar­gins of vic­to­ry in tra­di­tion­al strong­holds

Sev­er­al con­stituen­cies saw de­ci­sive wins by dom­i­nant par­ties, in­di­cat­ing en­trenched sup­port bases and min­i­mal com­pe­ti­tion from op­pos­ing can­di­dates.

In Ca­roni East, the lead­ing can­di­date se­cured 13,957 votes, out­pac­ing the near­est ri­val by a mar­gin of 11,200 votes. Ch­agua­nas West sim­i­lar­ly demon­strat­ed strong sup­port, with a win­ning mar­gin of ap­prox­i­mate­ly 14,623 votes.

Oth­er con­stituen­cies show­ing wide gaps be­tween first- and sec­ond-place fin­ish­ers in­clude:

Cou­va North – Mar­gin of 10,107 votes

Siparia – Mar­gin of 11,488 votes

Aranguez/St. Joseph – Mar­gin of 3,236 votes

Moru­ga/Table­land – Mar­gin of 3,100 votes

These re­sults re­flect strong vot­er align­ment with es­tab­lished par­ties in cen­tral and south­ern re­gions of Trinidad, par­tic­u­lar­ly in ar­eas tra­di­tion­al­ly con­sid­ered strong­holds of the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress (UNC).

High­est vot­er turnout con­cen­trat­ed in cen­tral and south­east­ern Trinidad

De­spite na­tion­al turnout av­er­ag­ing just over 53%, sev­er­al con­stituen­cies record­ed sig­nif­i­cant­ly high­er lev­els of vot­er par­tic­i­pa­tion.

The high­est turnout was ob­served in Moru­ga/Table­land, where 65.38% of el­i­gi­ble vot­ers cast bal­lots. Oth­er high-turnout con­stituen­cies in­clude:

Ch­agua­nas West – 62.14%

St. Au­gus­tine – 60.60%

Aranguez/St. Joseph – 60.05%

Cu­mu­to/Man­zanil­la – 59.94%

Clax­ton Bay – 59.31%

Oropouche East – 59.60%

Cou­va North – 58.88%

Ca­roni Cen­tral – 58.73%

Ch­agua­nas East – 58.10%

These con­stituen­cies al­so cor­re­spond with re­gions where can­di­dates se­cured strong mar­gins, sug­gest­ing a cor­re­la­tion be­tween turnout and vot­er loy­al­ty in spe­cif­ic dis­tricts.

Low­er turnout in ur­ban ar­eas

In con­trast, sev­er­al ur­ban con­stituen­cies record­ed com­par­a­tive­ly low par­tic­i­pa­tion. Laven­tille West had the low­est turnout at 35.20%, fol­lowed by Port of Spain South (36.09%) and Laven­tille East/Mor­vant (38.77%). These fig­ures re­flect on­go­ing con­cerns re­gard­ing vot­er ap­a­thy and dis­en­gage­ment in cer­tain ar­eas.
