Trinidad and Tobago voting rights

Q: I came to Trinidad in 2002 and became a permanent resident for 7 years. I am a British citizen.  Can I vote? And my friend is a permanent resident from China, can he vote too? We all have ID cards for long. Awaiting your reply.


A: All adult Trinidad and Tobago citizens can vote. Additionally, Commonwealth citizens can vote if they are:
  • 18 years of age or older
  • Resided legally in Trinidad and Tobago for a period of at least one year, 
  • Resided in an electoral district/constituency for a least two months prior to the Qualifying Date.

A Non-Commonwealth citizen is not eligible to vote in parliamentary elections.
