Grenadians voting to elect new government
The ruling clears the way for 46 candidates as 97,020 registered voters choose all 15 parliamentary seats, with turnout likely to decide the outcome.
- On Thursday, November 5, Grenadians cast ballots in a general election after the Grenada High Court dismissed a lawsuit attempting to halt the process. Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell led the National Democratic Congress into the poll.
- Attorney Cajeton Hood sued Prime Minister Mitchell, the Supervisor of Elections, and the Attorney-General, arguing the October 2 dissolution of Parliament was unlawful. Justice Agnes Actie rejected the claim, ruling objections must follow the election petition process.
- The Parliamentary Elections Office managed the vote for 97,020 registered electors contesting 15 seats across 46 candidates. Emmalin Pierre led the New National Party, the main opposition, competing against Prime Minister Mitchell's National Democratic Congress.
- Police officers cast their votes in a special early poll on Monday, November 2, three days before election day. Counting of ballots began immediately after polls closed on Thursday.
- Although the court cleared the legal path, candidates may still file election petitions to challenge results after the vote. The Governor-General will officially appoint the prime minister following the formal declaration of results.
