POLICY DETAILS

Before we count votes honestly, we must register voters honestly.

full, standardized modernization of the register:

  1. Independent Voter Registry Commission

    • Non-partisan

    • Professionally staffed

    • Overseen by a cross-section of civil society
       

  2. Annual Public Audits

    • Published results

    • Clear corrections

    • Explanations for additions, removals, or transfers
       

  3. Digital Voter Verification Portal

    • Check registration

    • Check polling station

    • Request corrections

    • Get confirmations by email or SMS
       

  4. Constituency-Level Transparency Reports

    • Final list published 90 days before election

    • All changes clearly logged


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    • An outdated, manual system vulnerable to error.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.
