The Constituency 10 Smith’s North bye-election is scheduled to take place on May 22, 2024.
A Government spokesperson said, “Today, the Acting Governor Tom Oppenheim issued a Writ of Election for Smith’s North Constituency 10. The public will recall that earlier this week, the Parliamentary Registry Office [PRO] announced that a Bye-Election for Constituency 10, Smith’s North is scheduled to take place on May 22, 2024.
“Registration for the Bye-Election will close on Wednesday, 17 April 2024 at 5:00 p.m. All voters in Smith’s North are encouraged to verify their registration details on our website at www.elections.gov.bm.
“Voters in Smith’s North who are certified by a medical practitioner as unable to leave their residence due to illness, infirmity, or disability, even with assistance, can request to vote from home.
“Please contact the office on 293-VOTE by May 10, 2024, to schedule an appointment. For further information about the Smith’s North Constituency 10 Bye-Election, please visit the Parliamentary Registry’s website at www.elections.gov.bm.”
The bye-election has been called due to the resignation of Michael Dunkley. As of this time, the OBA has announced that Robert King will be their candidate, the PLP announced that Senator Lindsay Simmons will be their candidate, and while he has not actually announced he will stand, Sir John Swan held a press conference where he discussed the possibility of running as an independent.
