The Elections System of the Virgin Islands has completed its casting of lots for the November 3 general election, establishing ballot positions across the governor and lieutenant governor, Delegate to Congress, Senate, Board of Education and Board of Elections contests in both electoral districts.
Supervisor of Elections Caroline Fawkes announced the results Tuesday and said all candidates included in the drawing had cleared the Elections System’s qualification process. “All Candidates were vetted and approved to be on the General Election Ballot,” she stated.
