Voting System For 13th Senator Finalized
posted (January 6, 2017)
The members of the NGO community in good standing met today in Belize City to hear from the five nominees for the 13th senator. Today each of the candidates gave brief presentations to urge the NGO reps to vote for them on next week Tuesday. Turns out there are only 27 NGO's who will vote, since only 29 are in good standing and two of them are inactive. As we understand it, each NGO will have one representative to vote. They will vote by rounds, and after the first round the top two or top three vote getters will advance to a run-off. And from there, the nominee which gets a simple majority will be selected. The nominees are:
  • Edilberto Romero from Bacongo
  • Janelle Chanano from Oceana,
  • Donovan Reneau from BCVI
  • Pablo Collado from Adopt A Child With a Disability
  • And Osmany Salas from BTIA.
