    The Antigua and Barbuda Electoral Commission (ABEC) has detailed the roles of officials who will oversee the voting process in the upcoming general election.

    The Commission said election workers are required to operate with fairness and impartiality to ensure a credible process.

    At the constituency level, the Returning Officer is responsible for supervising all polling stations and ensuring that electoral laws are followed.

    Each polling station is managed by a Presiding Officer, who issues ballots, guides voters and assists those who may need help, including people with disabilities.

    They are supported by Poll Clerks, who handle administrative tasks, and Information Clerks, who provide directions and answer questions from voters.

    ABEC said all officials must carry out their duties under oath and maintain strict neutrality.

    The Commission added that the professionalism of election workers will be key to ensuring an orderly, transparent and accessible vote on 30 April.
