The Electoral Office of Jamaica EOJ says staff and polling station material are in place for Election Day workers and members of the police and military forces to cast their vote on Monday from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm.
Under the Representation of the People Act, provisions are made for these electors to vote three days before the rest of the population to ensure that they are available for duty on Election Day.
Election Day workers, military and police personnel who do not vote on Monday will not be able to do so on September 3.
The EOJ has set up 215 designated locations to facilitate voting Monday. The list of polling locations include schools, churches, police stations, court houses, community centres, EOJ offices and military bases.
Election Day workers, police and military electors have been asked to wear a mask covering their nose and mouth to the polling station and to follow the instructions of electoral officials regarding COVID-19 safety protocols.
