ST. GEORGE’S, Grenada, CMC – Grenada’s Prime Minister Tillman Thomas has expressed appreciation to the Organization of American States (OAS) for the mission’s “speedy response” to his request to provide technical support to validate and verify the integrity of the new voter registration system. Thomas’ request was aimed at ensuring that the upcoming general elections in Grenada are held in a “clean, free, fair and transparent manner.” On completing a two week mission, the OAS team submitted a Report which concluded that “the introduction of biometric identification cards and an electronic voter database constitute significant improvements in voter security, relative to the processes that were previously in place.” According to the report, “the house-to-house survey on voter registration attested to the integrity of the voter registration database.”
