The Cari­com Elec­tion Ob­ser­va­tion Mis­sion (CEOM) and the Com­mon­wealth Ob­serv­er Group say Mon­day’s Gen­er­al Elec­tion in Trinidad and To­ba­go re­ceived an A grade.

Speak­ing at a me­dia con­fer­ence at the Hilton Trinidad, Port-of-Spain, yes­ter­day, CEOM chief of mis­sion, Ian Hugh­es, de­scribed the process as good.

De­spite me­dia re­ports of ir­reg­u­lar­i­ties, Hugh­es em­pha­sised that noth­ing sig­nif­i­cant was ob­served or re­port­ed. He com­pli­ment­ed the Elec­tions and Bound­aries Com­mis­sion (EBC) on its han­dling of the elec­toral process. How­ev­er, a few in­stances of polling sta­tions not be­ing user-friend­ly for the dif­fer­ent­ly abled were not­ed.
