Government Invites Public to Participate in Electoral Reform Discussion

SM Town Hall Meeting

The Minister for the Cabinet Office and Digital Innovation, the Hon. Diallo Rabain, JP, MP, will host a public town hall to discuss Electoral Reform and gather community input on how voting processes can be made easier, fairer, and more accessible for all Bermudians.

Taking place on Monday, 24 November 2025, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., at the Harrington Workman’s Club/Devil’s Hole Club, this engagement session forms part of the Government's ongoing work to modernise Bermuda's electoral system and strengthen public participation in the democratic process. A strong democracy relies on the voices of its people, and this forum offers an opportunity for residents to share their perspectives and learn more about potential improvements to election administration.

During the town hall, a discussion will focus on key areas, including:

  • Implementing absentee voting for eligible Bermudians overseas;
  • Establishing clear and transparent standards for political parties and campaign financing;
  • Keeping the voters’ rolls accurate, private, and transparent;
  • Embracing practical modernisation of our electoral systems and technology; and
  • Setting consistent and fair rules for polling‑day administration.

 

The town hall will feature a brief presentation, followed by a moderated forum, which will allow attendees to ask questions and contribute directly to the conversation.

Minister Rabain explained, “Democracy works best when everyone has a voice. I encourage residents to join us this evening and share their ideas, their concerns, and their hopes for how we can strengthen Bermuda’s elections. Your participation is essential as we work to build a system that is fair, accessible, and reflective of the people it serves”

The public is encouraged to attend this town hall on Monday, 24 November 2025, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., at the Harrington Workman's Club/Devil's Hole Club.
