GREAT BAY — On the 26th of February 2018, exactly 173 days after hurricane Irma wrecked havoc in St. Maarten, elections are again being held again due to the impromptu dissolution of the Marlin cabinet.

This election is coming exactly seventeen months after the last election that was held on the 26th of September, 2016.

The United Democrats Party (UD), National Alliance (NA), United St. Maarten Party (US) and the People’s Progressive Alliance Party (PPA) were on full display during this election.

Eligible voters have been seen around the polling stations as elections are conducted in a free and fair manner. The polling stations as at the time of reporting had low turnout compared to previous elections. Click here for the voter turnout results as of 6pm.
