The Antigua & Barbuda Electoral Commission says more than half of eligible voters have now completed the replacement of their voter identification cards, according to its latest official report for April 2026.

Figures show an overall completion rate ranging from the mid-50% range in several constituencies to as high as 87% in St Peter. Nationwide, the process is steadily advancing, with most constituencies crossing the 55% threshold.

St Peter is leading the exercise with 87% completion, followed by Barbuda at 76% and St Philip North at 75%. At the lower end, St Mary’s North and St John’s Rural West are both just above the halfway mark, at 54% and 55% respectively.

The Commission reported a total of 29,427 applications processed so far, including 6,076 in April alone. Weekly data for 12–18 April shows 2,105 replacement applications completed, with activity concentrated earlier in the week.

Daily figures indicate the highest turnout on 13 April, when 793 applications were processed, followed by 605 on 14 April and 501 on 15 April. No activity was recorded between 16 and 18 April in the report.

In addition to replacements, 257 new voter applications were recorded during the same week.

The data highlights stronger performance in both urban and rural constituencies in St John’s, particularly St John’s Rural West and All Saints West, which recorded some of the highest weekly totals.

Officials have not indicated a deadline but continue to encourage eligible voters to complete the process, as the replacement programme moves closer to full national coverage.
