Referendum On An Elected Senate:
While 38.5% of voters who went to the polls on Thursday, February 7, said they want an elected senate, as many as 37.4% abstained – meaning that they declined to take a ballot paper to participate in the referendum.
There were 29,793 “NO” responses, and 45,057 “YES” responses.
Official Elections and Boundaries information indicates that as many as 43,730 voters who went to the poll on election day did not vote in the referendum.
Some of those we interviewed cited three main reasons for not voting – either that they did not understand the issue at all, that they were going along with the United Democratic Party formula for the Senate, “NO,” or that they wanted to vote “YES,” but were unsure of exactly what they were voting for.
Voter Turnout
Total Voter Turnout was 69.72% nation wide. Since the voter registry has not been purged in 10 years, it is likely that the actual turnout of voters that are still alive and living in Belize was closer to 80%.
