Barbados: The nomination day, on Tuesday, ahead of general election 2026 in Barbados went very smoothly and trouble free as reported by electoral officials. They added that there were no incidents reported at any polling centres islandwide.

The centres which closed at 3 pm saw several individuals from five contesting political parties filing their nominations for the February 11 general election. These parties include the governing Barbados Labour Party (BLP), opposition Democratic Labour Party (DLP), Reform Barbados, Friends of Democracy (FOD) and People’s Coalition for Progress (PCP) which includes alliance of New National Party (NNP), United Progressive Party (UPP), Conservative Barbados Leadership Party (CBLP).

Following the nomination day, Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley said that CARICOM and Commonwealth observers would be invited to monitor the poll and assured that the election will be free and fair.

She was responding to Democratic Labour Party leader Ralph Thorne who questioned the integrity of the elections as well as the accuracy of the electoral list. However, the Prime Minister clearly rejected this and insisted that the law is on the site of the state.

According to the publicly available information, more than 80 candidates representing around nine parties were nominated. Along with that, there was also one independent candidate who filed his nomination for the upcoming poll.
