The Organisation of American States (OAS) has confirmed that it will be sending a mission to observe the March 13, 2018 General Elections in Grenada.
While the date of the team’s arrival is not yet known, Prime Minister Dr. Keith Mitchell, in submitting the formal request, indicated that Grenada would like the team to arrive earlier than usual.
The Prime Minister has also written to the Commonwealth, the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) and the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), all of whom have sent observers to previous general elections.
Nomination day for the General Election is on February 20, and after that the voting population will know how many candidates and political parties will be representing the 15 constituencies.
To date, only two of the active 18 political organisations have presented candidates for each of the 15 constituencies.
They are the governing New National Party and the main opposition National Democratic Congress.
