Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands - Friday, 18 May 2026 —  The Turks and Caicos Islands Elections Department (TCIED) is bringing back its Voter Registration Drive, with  the Elections team visiting several islands over the coming weeks to assist eligible residents with registering to vote or updating their voter information ahead of the next General Elections.

With the theme “Register to Vote – Your Vote is Your Voice,” the renewed initiative is a part of the Department’s ongoing efforts to remain visible, accessible, and engaged within communities while encouraging greater public participation in the democratic process.

Acting Supervisor of Elections, Willette Pratt, said the Department remains committed to ensuring every eligible resident has the opportunity to register and participate in shaping the future of the country.

“We want people to know that the Elections Department is coming to their community,” Pratt said. “This registration drive is about meeting people where they are, making the process convenient, and encouraging persons to take that important step to register. Voting is one of the most important ways we can make our voices heard, and we want every eligible resident to be prepared and included.”

She added that maintaining an ongoing registration presence throughout the islands is an important part of the Department’s outreach efforts.

“We believe voter education and voter registration should be continuous and ongoing. Our goal is to maintain an active presence in the community, keep the public informed, and encourage as many eligible persons as possible to register before the deadline. We want to make sure that no one is left behind.”

The registration initiative is intended for:

• Persons registering for the first time; and 
• Persons who have changed their place of residence and require a transfer to a new electoral district or an address update within the same district. 

Eligible Turks and Caicos Islanders with a valid National Turks and Caicos Islander Status Card may register if they:

• Are at least 18 years old; 
• Have lived in the Turks and Caicos Islands for twelve out of the twenty-four months prior to the qualifying date; or 
• Are members of His Majesty’s Forces, persons employed overseas on Government business, or students living abroad. 

The Department also noted that pre-registration is permitted from the age of 17, although voting rights begin at age 18. Residents attending the registration drive are reminded to bring their National Turks and Caicos Islander Status Card, proof of address, and any TWO of the following approved forms of identification: 

• Valid Passport; 
• National Insurance Card; 
• National Health Insurance Card; or 
• Any other Government-issued identification.
