Governor issues writs triggering election proces
(CNS): Governor Jane Owen issued writs to 19 returning officers and 15 deputies who will help in larger districts on Thursday, triggering the start of the election process. The general election has been called for Wednesday, 30 April, and issuing writs to the returning officers responsible for overseeing and conducting the 2025 national poll signals the formal start of the election timeline.
The writs are legal documents mandating officers to conduct elections in the 19 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.
Supervisor of Elections Wesley Howell said the returning officers and their teams play a critical role. “The professionalism and dedication of our returning officers and deputy returning officers are instrumental in upholding the principles of democracy,” he said. “We are confident in their ability to deliver an election process that reflects the highest standards of integrity and efficiency.”
Governor Owen commended the officers for taking on the 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,” she said.

Me
thinks that our dear MLAs were triggered
as their wet dream is getting rid of consultations , lawful referendums , the Constitution and voting rights altogether but for the public servants whom JUJU our
local Marie Antoinette , would be happy as her 237 constituents would rather elect an octopus 🐙 rather than a lady whom is VERY disconnected from reality (well, until Thorazine becomes the go to treatment)

Great, a 3 month campaign cycle! No ideals are presented anyway, only turkeys!
We’re screwed!
There should be an enforced policy that.
1…No one with any kind of criminal conviction should be eligible to run.
2…No one with a criminal conviction, especially for deception, should be awarded government contracts.
Both of the above are currently being ignored.
Oh good. Does this mean that Kenny’s ugly billboards are finally legal for a few months?
Bunch of Civil Servants, no doubt collecting stipends while getting paid in full for their regular positions from which they have been seconded.
Some are private sector too.
If there were any ethics in the House, this would also signify the commencement of election campaign restrictions on binding the CIG to new agreements, donor pledges, treating, and gifts.
