[3.1] Having reviewed the report of the ‘Commonwealth Expert Team’ of the general elections of 2004, the Report of the ‘CARICOM Observers’ of the general elections of 2004, and the Report of the ‘Commonwealth Assessment Mission’ of 2005, and based on the commitment given in the St Kitts-Nevis Labour Party 2000 Election manifesto, the Government will pursue the following proposed reforms:

a) Modernize the electoral process:

[1] Introduce a National Registration System; leading to the issuance of a “Smart Card” that will among other things assist citizens in accessing their rights and discharging their responsibilities including voting.

[2] Introduce a proper ID system for registration.

b) Review the electoral boundaries to reflect as near as possible equality in the number of inhabitants in each constituency.
