Attorney at Law Lennox Lawrence recommends removal of five-year eligibility requirement for Dominican voters living abroad

Attorney at Law Lennox Lawrence is recommending the removal of the five-year eligibility requirement for Dominican voters who live abroad.

Under current legislation, Dominicans who have been out of the island for more than five years, are deemed ineligible to vote.

Speaking on Anou Palay on Sunday, Lawrence, who was recently sworn in as a member of the Electoral Commission, said the clause is outdated.
