Thousands of dead electors removed from voters’ list

More than 14,000 dead electors have been struck off Jamaica’s voters’ list as part of its latest update to the register of electors.

In a statement yesterday, the Electoral office of Jamaica (EOJ) said a total of 15,161 names were removed from the voters’ list published on May 31. Of those, 14,363 were confirmed to be deceased electors.

The EOJ said the update was made possible largely through information provided by the Office of the Registrar General, along with data from other official sources and stakeholders.

The removal of the names of the dead electors is part of ongoing efforts to maintain the accuracy and integrity of the voters’ list.

There are currently 2,090,343 electors on the voters’ list. This reflects a decrease of 1,279 electors compared with the 2,091,622 names listed in December 2025.
