Special voter Corneilia Ince makes her way to the polling centre on Frederick Street, Port-of-Spain, to cast her vote last week.

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.

Man­ag­ing Di­rec­tor George Alex­is ex­plained the East­er hol­i­days had ini­tial­ly de­layed the dis­tri­b­u­tion process.

Alex­is ex­plained that the Elec­tion and Bound­aries Com­mis­sion’s (EBC) print­ing process on­ly al­lowed for 100 per cent of the cards to be com­plet­ed by Holy Thurs­day, a sit­u­a­tion fur­ther com­pli­cat­ed by the added re­spon­si­bil­i­ty of dis­trib­ut­ing pen­sions.

How­ev­er, he as­sured that the ex­er­cise was com­plet­ed on Sat­ur­day.

Fur­ther­more, he stat­ed that TTPOST will not be able to con­firm whether all poll cards have been col­lect­ed by na­tion­als un­til lat­er this week, not­ing that TTPOST rents over 10,000 box­es for mail col­lec­tion. He al­so ad­vised that com­mu­ni­ties with shared mail­box­es should en­sure they are checked as well.

Cit­i­zens who have not re­ceived their poll cards are re­mind­ed that they can still vote to­day, elec­tion day, as long as their name ap­pears on the re­vised list of elec­tors and they pos­sess a valid form of iden­ti­fi­ca­tion.
