No Guns on Election Day

The Commissioner of Police met with those candidates vying for the Belmopan and Cayo South seats today to make sure that everyone is on their best behaviour through the election season. The Commissioner and other senior officers met with PUP, UDP, VIP, and NBA candidates to discuss election regulations including the sale of alcoholic beverages during elections, and the carrying of firearms at the polling and counting stations. A statutory instrument is already drafted and will be gazeted and published shortly prohibiting the carrying of firearms during elections.
