Nomination Day for the coming general election is tomorrow, when the candidates for all constituencies will gather in Hamilton’s Seventh Day Adventist Church Hall.It marks a first for the Island, following amendments to the Parliamentary Election Act 1978: nominees had previously gathered in each constituency.Starting at 11am, hopefuls from both parties as well as independent candidates will present themselves, along with their nomination paperwork, under one roof. Close of business is 1pm, following which notices will be taken to each polling station and pinned up on the main door.For Parliamentary Registrar Randy Scott and his team of workers, a busy time is nearing its final stretch.“After nomination day, it’s a done deal,” Mr Scott said. “The names go on paper and everybody knows who the official candidates are who will be vying for the seats available.”Earlier this week the seven-day objections period concluded — when members of the public, including candidates, could review the voters’ register and make errors, omissions or other mistakes known. That, in turn, came on the heels of the one-week registration period.“We pride ourselves on our register and think it’s one of the more accurate,” added Mr Scott, estimating around 3,000 people either changed their registration or registered for the first time — roughly two-thirds of them online.Registration week is the busiest time for the Registrar, and this one was no exception: staff were “burning the midnight oil for seven days straight”, he said.Mopping up glitches, he said, included tracking down the common error of people appearing on the register twice with the order of their names reversed.The Registrar reported a good success rate in getting those eligible to vote registered: from more than 4,000 who had remained under the radar, the figure fell to “some 2,900 or less who are not registered”, he said.The work is far from done: other tasks to cross off the list before the December 17 election include today’s test run of the ballot counting procedure, to be held in the Dame Lois Browne-Evans Building.
