Caye Caulker preparing for Village Council Elections

Even though the Elections and Boundaries Department has not issued an official date for the 2016 Village Council Elections, they did indicate that rural level elections will take place sometime between May and June of 2016. As such, residents of La Isla Cari�osa, Caye Caulker, are getting ready to head to the polls and elect a new Village Council in the upcoming village council elections. A number of different people are expected to declare their intention to run as candidates, but so far only one Hicace�a has actually come forward and officially announced her candidacy for chairperson.

Early in January, born and raised Caye Caulker resident Tracie Young declared her intentions of running for chairperson via an encouraging message posted on her social media account. Young has already prepared an agenda for the island if elected, and is inviting everyone to feel free to contact her and find out more about her plans for the island. Some of her priorities for Caye Caulker are important needs that the residents have been asking to be addressed. Her portfolio includes the establishment of a 24-hour service at the clinic, expansion of the high school when it comes to education and when it comes to safety; she plans to achieve a stronger mutual relationship between the community and the police.
