Grenada: The government of Grenada is preparing for the general elections that are scheduled to be held on June 23, 2022. The Ministry of Education, Human Resource Development, Religious Affairs and Information announced to the public that there would be no school on Election Day.
The Government of Grenada issued a press release and stated that it should be noted, however, that schools that are examination centres will be opened for the administration of CXC Examinations, which are scheduled for that day.
Additionally, due to electoral requirements, it will not be possible for some schools to function as examination centres on election day. In light of this, CXC candidates at those schools will be accommodated at an alternative venue. The venues are as follows:
- For the Anglican High School, the venue will be Grenada Boys’ Secondary.
- For Boca Secondary, the venue will be Wesley College.
- For Grenville Secondary, the venue will be St Joseph’s Convent and St Andrew.
- For St Mark’s Secondary, the venue will be St Rose Modern Secondary.
- For Westerhall Secondary, the venue will be St David’s Catholic Secondary.
Principals of the named schools have been asked to ensure that all candidates to whom this change applies are duly informed. It must be emphasized that this will be a temporary arrangement for the election day only.
Earlier, Prime Minister Keith Mitchell also filled his nominations for the upcoming general elections along with other 41 other candidates.
