Residents and business owners in Antigua have been advised that the sale of alcohol will be prohibited during polling hours for the upcoming St. Philip North by-election, according to Antigua.news.
The restriction is a standard electoral measure aimed at ensuring a peaceful and orderly voting process. Liquor sales will not be permitted for the duration of the polling period on by-election day in the St. Philip North constituency.
Such prohibitions are a common practice during elections in Antigua and Barbuda, with authorities enforcing the ban to maintain public order and reduce the potential for election-day disturbances. Businesses operating in the area are expected to comply with the restriction during the designated hours.
Voters are encouraged to familiarise themselves with polling arrangements ahead of the by-election day.
