The Electoral Office of Jamaica (EOJ) says it will again make a request from the Government for funding to carry out the long-awaited electoral reverification exercise next year. Director of Elections Glasspole Brown told The Gleaner on Friday that the price tag to conduct a full reverification of the voters’ list is $9 billion. However, he said the EOJ will request half of the sum in fiscal year 2027-28 and the balance in the subsequent financial year of 2028-29.
