Progress on Antigua and Barbuda's expired voter identification card replacement programme remains uneven across the country, with most constituencies still below the halfway mark and the pace of applications slowing sharply in recent weeks.

According to Antigua Observer, fresh figures from the Antigua and Barbuda Electoral Commission confirm that while the replacement programme is moving forward, the deceleration in uptake could attract greater scrutiny given the prospect of early elections.

The latest statistics released by the Electoral Commission highlight the disparity in progress between constituencies, with many falling short of the midpoint in their replacement efforts. The slowdown in applications raises concerns about whether eligible voters will have valid identification in time, particularly if an early election is called.
