The ceremony reaffirmed the Cayman Islands’ commitment to maintaining a robust and orderly democratic process. The issuance of the writs marks a pivotal moment in the electoral process, signalling the formal commencement of the election timeline in the Cayman Islands.
These writs are legal documents that mandate Returning Officers to conduct elections in the 19 designated electoral districts in accordance with the Elections Act. Each writ specifies key details, including the dates for nomination and polling, and provides comprehensive instructions to ensure the integrity and fairness of the election process.
During the ceremony, the Governor presented the writs to the 19 Returning Officers and the 15 Deputy Returning Officers, who will assist in larger districts to facilitate a seamless and efficient election process.
Supervisor of Elections, Wesley Howell, emphasised the critical role played by the Returning Officers and their teams, stating:
“The professionalism and dedication of our Returning Officers and Deputy Returning Officers are instrumental in upholding the principles of democracy. We are confident in their ability to deliver an election process that reflects the highest standards of integrity and efficiency.”
Governor Owen said:
“I commend all the Returning Officers for taking on this important responsibility. Their work begins today, as we prepare for our General Election on 30 April 2025, when Cayman’s voting public will elect our new government.”
The 2025 General Election will take place on Wednesday, 30 April 2025.
