The Problems We Fix
Bahamians have raised serious concerns in recent elections, including:
Unexplained additions or removals to constituency lists
Thousands of people missing or moved without clarity
No public explanation of transfer rules
An outdated, manual system vulnerable to error.
These concerns undermine trust and weaken democracy — even when no wrongdoing exists.
The BFM Principle: The register belongs to the people — not political operators.
