The Progressive Labour Party pledged in our 2025 Platform to deliver electoral reform, including the introduction of absentee voting. This reform must be shaped with the voices of the people at its centre.

The OBA’s decision to table an absentee voting bill without consultation, without details, and without a plan is yet another example of telling Bermudians what to do instead of working with them. Electoral reform is too important to be reduced to partisan politics.

The PLP is committed to moving forward with a transparent and properly funded electoral reform process that is planned and built with the input of Bermudians.
