1.1 - This White Paper:

a) Initiates the process by which electoral reform will be achieved.
b) Outlines the proposed reforms that Government will pursue.
c) Outlines the preferred steps through which consultation with all stakeholders and implementation of electoral reform will be pursued.

1.2 - At the end of this process, the Government of St. Kitts and Nevis is confident that it would have formulated and instituted a legally reformed electoral system. Through proper consultation with all social groups, political parties, and the general public, the Government will ensure that these reforms guarantee that future elections in St. Kitts and Nevis continue to be free and fair. Furthermore, and in keeping with our democratic and Constitutional rights, these reforms will not disenfranchise any voter as the reforms seek to introduce a modern and efficient electoral system.
