Within a short period, the people of Nevis, specifically of Nevis District 5 will be called upon to vote. Literally before the ink dries on their collective index finger, they will be called upon to vote again in a Federal election. The Nevis bye – election in District 5, is caused by the resignation of Mr. Joseph Parry from the Nevis Island Assembly. The Federal Election is constitutionally due we are told by August. The NIA bye-election is due within 90 days after the resignation takes effect, and the Federal Election is due 6 months after the first sitting of the current Parlia- ment. (Not by the anniversary date of the previous elections. In fact, such an- niversary dates are of very little importance in the scheme of things). The date of the Federal Election is to be signaled by the Prime Minister of St Kitts and Nevis - and Nevis, while the NIA election is to be signaled by the Pre- mier of Nevis. We are being specific - the Premier is the Premier of Nevis and not St Kitts and Nevis, while the Prime Minister is the Prime Minister of St Kitts and Nevis, and of Nevis. The elections cannot be easily held at the same time as they are for two separate areas. Nevis District 5 is part of Federal Constituency 11 but Federal 11 also includes Nevis District 4.
