Only 10% Of Businesses Registered To Vote
“The legal notice for the voting date of the Corporation of Hamilton Municipal Election was posted earlier this week, but what most businesses don’t realize is that they are probably not eligible to vote,” the Bermuda Chamber of Commerce said today.
“Thus far, approximately 10% of businesses have registered to vote on Thursday, 7th May, 2015. Yet, in the last municipal election, where only residents were eligible to vote, businesses were eager to contribute.
Chamber President, Kristi Grayston, said, “Businesses, both members and non-members, need to understand that unless they have registered their company at the Corporation of Hamilton this year, they are not even eligible to vote. ”
The Chamber of Commerce encourages all Hamilton businesses to send their completed forms to City Hall and for St. George’s businesses to submit their completed forms to the St. George’s Town Hall. Businesses have until next week Wednesday, 25th March, at 5 p.m. to register.

Does not need much imagination to guess why …… these lot are as bad as those guys down the road from them …
If you want to get them that are in City Hall / C.o.H. out then I recommend to all businesses that aren’t registered to do so a.s.a.p.

(If you can’t move fast then move early)
Please get these clowns out … they have pulled the plug on the COH and the water is running out fast. If you are a business, please do us all a favour and register to vote. If you don’t, you can’t vote. If you can’t vote, you can’t complain …
Still got till Wednesday next week. I imagine there will be a mad rush by many to register including myself…
I’ll be der
Why is the corp telling the public/businesses at this late stage?
This should have been announced months ago and repeated weekly.
“Better late than never”
I was somewhat perplexed also, “Hungrybie’” Does it / can it have anything to do with the Mayor his cronies
Ummm get your colective ***ess in gear…or you won’t have anyone to blame but yourselves. ..
Lets hope there is a dash in the next few days to get registered to vote.
No way can the city afford another ‘Team Hamilton’.
Typical Bermies leaving it until the last minute!
I witness first hand a business owner actually putting up a resistance to register when the lady from voter register appeared at their business. He kept saying you have to go to the board before I proceed. ….oh well he will miss the boat waiting on his board meeting
