The Antigua and Barbuda Electoral Commission (ABEC) is renewing its appeal for members of the public who have not yet replaced their expired Voter ID Cards to do so without delay.

According to the commission’s data, as at May 9th 2025, a mere sixteen thousand and forty-one (16,041) individuals have completed the process. The constituencies of St. Peter (76%) and Barbuda (69%) have recorded the highest replacement rates, largely due to recent elections.

The Commission emphasizes that the Voter’s Identification Card is a key document that confirms the eligibility to vote. A valid Voter’s ID Card is crucial, not only for participating in elections but also for various transactions that require official identification at businesses and government departments.

The Commission has made the replacement of the Voter’s ID cards accessible and as simple as possible, taking no more than seven minutes per person. Registration Units across the state are open and ready to serve with teams that remain committed to assisting every eligible voter in updating their demographics.

ABEC urges persons to be proactive and to complete the process early to avoid long lines and any last-minute rush.

The Expired Voter’s ID Card Replacement Programme began on August 12th 2024 in all 17 constituencies. As part of the process, eligible voters are asked to walk with their expired Voter’s ID card, a valid government issued ID, a proof of address and any documents updating their marital status. Cards will be updated with a new photo, signature, validated with fingerprints and will be available from the same Registration Unit within three weeks of an application.
