Cayman To Implement New Constitution Following Referendum,
by Phillip Morton, Investors Offshore.com
Monday, May 25, 2009
The Cayman Islands is to adopt a revised constitution, the jurisdiction decided
during a referendum held on May 20.
Official results from the Elections Office Referendum Command Centre indicate
that 11,244 voters cast Referendum ballots (including mobile and postal ballots),
of which 62.66% voted ‘yes’, exceeding the 50% plus one required
for it to be enacted. Final tallies show that 7045 persons voted ‘yes’,
while 4127 rejected the constitution.
“The Constitutional Review Secretariat (CRS) was very pleased with the
turn out of voters for the referendum. The turn out was extremely high for such
a new initiative for these islands. The country’s mandate has been ‘yes’
for acceptance of the constitution. Work will now begin to prepare for the implementation
of the new constitution,” commented CRS Director Suzanne Bothwell.
The constitutional talks between the Cayman delegates and the UK’s Foreign
Commonwealth Office (FCO) started on September 29 and concluded on February
5. As a result of these meetings, a final draft of the constitution was published
on the Cayman Island’s constitution website, the text of which was then
voted in the recent referendum. Within the extensive amendments made to the
constitution, the Caymans' delegation sought to deal with ten specific areas
to give the Caymans greater autonomy, whilst retaining its links with the UK.
