KINGSTON, Jamaica – The Electoral Commission of Jamaica is reminding employers that voters are entitled to time off to vote in the November 22, 2024 by-elections.

Under the Representation of the People Regulations, every employer shall permit each of his employees to be absent from his work on polling day for three hours in addition to the normal meal hour. However, this shall not apply to any employee whose work on polling day commences at or after 10:00 am or concludes before or at 2:00 p.m.

Electors are being reminded to take their Voter ID card to the polling station. The EOJ is appealing to electors who have not yet collected their Voter ID card to visit their EOJ constituency office to do so ahead of the by-elections.

The EOJ says electors may vote without their voter ID card, but the process will be faster if they have it.
