PHILIPSBURG--The Main Voting Bureau on Thursday allocated the colours to the four political parties contesting the early Island Council elections set for September 17.
The parties' lists were also numbered. Democratic Party has been allocated number one as well as its requested colour red; Concordia Political Alliance (CPA) has been allocated number two as well as its requested colour gold; United People's Party has been allocated number three as well as its requested colour green and National Alliance has been allocated number four as well as its requested colour white.
These parties will be listed according to their numbers on the election ballot. Thursday's meeting was chaired by Acting Chairperson of the Main Voting Bureau Ligia Stella as Chairman Acting Lt. Governor Reynold Groeneveldt had been chairing a meeting of the Island Council at the time.
On Wednesday the bureau had validated the candidates list of each party.
CPA's one-man list was validated. However, the party has until midday today to submit an updated list with one additional candidate to be validated. This is based on CPA winning a court case to have a candidate added to its list and re-inscribed on the voter's register on Wednesday.
