The Candidate Handbook is an official guide published by the Office of the Supervisor of Elections (OSE) to assist individuals seeking to contest elections in the Virgin Islands. It provides a clear and accessible overview of the legal, procedural, and ethical requirements for running for office.
The British Virgin Islands' electoral process is supported by a structured team of officials whose roles are clearly defined by law, including updates under the Elections (Amendment) Act, 2019.
Presiding Officers manage polling stations and ensure all procedures are followed, assisted by Poll Clerks, who help verify voters and maintain order.
The Electoral Districts Map provides an interactive and up-to-date visual representation of all electoral districts within the territory. Users can explore district boundaries, view detailed geographic areas, and identify the communities and landmarks included in each district. This tool supports public understanding of electoral zones, assists voters in locating their assigned district, and enhances transparency in the democratic process.
