Sir Emmanuel Neville Cenac, Governor General of Saint Lucia; !

Your Excellencies, Heads of State and Government of the Caribbean Community. In the interest of time, I crave your indulgence to adopt the protocols so well established before me.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, research was carried out online, and interviews with a wide range of stakeholders were conducted utilising digital meeting platforms. • Due to Covid-19 restrictions, political parties and candidates could not convene campaign events until 5 June. The Supervisor of Elections was also unable to conduct some planned voter education activities. The election took place on 29 June. As Anguilla had been virus-free for over two weeks by then, social distancing or other public health measures were not required during polling and counting. • The conduct of elections in Anguilla was broadly in compliance with the human rights standards and universal principles that are applicable. The right of political participation was well-respected, with the principal exception being the absence of equality in the weight of the vote as there were vast differences in district size.

The Election Observation Mission commends the Virgin Islands for taking positive steps to improve voting processes and to encourage a more positive campaign environment. Special commendation should go to the election officials who, in a short period of time, administered the election effectively. However, there is distrust in the electoral system, and the Mission continues to express concern that the regulatory framework, particularly in relation to campaign financing, lacks transparency and undermines the equality and openness of the election process. The Mission also expresses concerns about the qualification to vote and stand as a candidate and verification practices which challenge the principle of universal suffrage.” Hon. Palmavon Webster MHA, Head of Mission - Commonwealth Parliamentary Association British Islands and Mediterranean Region, Virgin Islands 2019 INTRODUCTION The Commonwealth Parliamentary Association British Islands and Mediterranean Region (CPA BIMR) Election Observation Mission (EOM) was present in the Virgin Islands from 15 February 2019 until 27 February 2019.

Many commonwealth countries throughout the world, and indeed many Caribbean countries share a common parliamentary system, entrenched in their constitution, handed down by Britain.
