(CNS): The Cayman Islands revised election register now stands at 25,687 voters after 1,858 new people registered to vote between the beginning of October and 15 January. The 7.8% increase from 23,829 on 1 January is one of the largest leaps in the election roll for many years, which Governor Jane Owen described as a clear sign “of Caymanians’ commitment to the democratic process”.
