North Windward’s number of registered voters stands at 7,303 and the previous 2020 elections numbers stood at 6, 887, which marks an increase of 416.

South Central Windward’s number of registered voters now stands at 6,626, and the previous 2020 elections stood at 6,345 which marks an increase of 281 voters .

South Windward’s number of new registered voters now stands at 7,190 and the previous was 6,668 means an increase of 522.

East St George’s number of new registered voters now stands at 9,369 and the previous figure stood at 8,636 which marks an increase of 733.

West St George’s number of new registered voters now stands at 8,025 and previous elections figure stood at 7559, which marks an increase of 466.

Marriaqua’s number of registered voters now stands at 7,073 and the previous 2020 elections number stood at 6, 798, marking an increase of 275 .

Central Leeward’s number of new registered voters now stands at 7,194, and the previous 2020 elections number stood at 6,745, marking an increase 449.

North Leeward’s number of registered voters now stands at 6,645 and in the 2020 general election, it was 6182, meaning there has been an increase of 463.

South Leeward’s number of new registered voters now stands at 8,627 while in 2020 it was 8,141, marking an increase of 486 .

In just these nine (9) seats we see an increase of 4,091 new voters registered voters. What this means is that this general election, due to these numbers, screams every single seat is in play for each party.

Seats that may have been safe can flip on Thursday. The new voters will decide this election and no party should feel safe with the revelations of these numbers.

Old strongholds for each party can be wiped out. Be prepared because anything can happen. This is going to be the election of the new voters because it is going to change the landscape due to the massive new numbers of registered voters.

The unpredictability of this general election has just been multiplied and I cannot emphasize enough these new numbers show no seat is really safe. Get your popcorn because Thursday night is going to be crazy and highly unpredictable. No party should feel safe with these new numbers of registered voters because seats we never felt that can switch, can switch.
