Chief Elections Officer Fern Narcis-Scope assures that the Elections and Boundaries Commission is ready to host the 2020 polls despite the COVID-19 pandemic.

At a virtual session hosted by the T&T Publishers and Broadcasters Association yesterday, Mrs. Narcis-Scope said the commission has been in election mode since last year.

Mrs. Narcis-Scope noted that while masks are important, not having one would not be enough to prevent someone from casting their ballot.

Several countries were due to hold General Elections this year but they have opted to postpone their polls in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
