The Electoral Office of St. Vincent and the Grenadines has confirmed a significant increase in registered voters ahead of the November 27 general election, with several constituencies showing notable growth compared to the 2020 polls.

According to official figures published by the Electoral Office, a total of 98,119 electors were registered for the 2020 general election, with 65,687 ballots cast, representing a turnout of 66.95 percent. In contrast, the Final Voters List released on November 22, 2025, shows 101,744 registered voters, an increase of 3,625 electors over the previous cycle.

Supervisor of Elections Dora James released the Final Voters List for November 2025, establishing the official roll of electors eligible to cast ballots. The list reflects heightened public interest in this year’s contest, as both the ruling Unity Labour Party (ULP) and the opposition New Democratic Party (NDP) intensify their campaigns in the final days before voting. East St. George remains one of the largest constituencies, recording a marked increase in registered voters compared to 2020, while Central Kingstown and South Windward also showed significant growth, underscoring their importance as battleground seats. North Windward and Marriaqua registered moderate increases, reflecting strong mobilisation in rural communities.

In the 2020 general election, voter turnout stood at 66.95 percent, with the ULP securing 32,419 votes and the NDP 32,900. The expanded voter roll in 2025 suggests that turnout could surpass previous levels, raising the stakes for both parties. James emphasised that only persons whose names appear on the final list will be eligible to vote, reinforcing the importance of transparency and accountability in the electoral process. With thousands of new names added to the voters’ list, both parties are actively performing to secure momentum.

The ULP has framed its campaign around continuity and stability, while the NDP is promising change and renewal. As the nation heads into the last stretch before election day, Vincentians are preparing to make their voices heard in what could be one of the most decisive contests in recent history.
