Nassau, The Bahamas - Executives of the Democratic National Alliance, including party leader Branville McCartney and Deputy Leader Chris Mortimer met on 12th November, 2015 with Parliamentary Commissioner Sherlyn Hall and his assistant Geoffrey McPhee where they held productive discussions on key matters relative to the role of the department in the upcoming general election.

As we continue to grow and develop our democracy it is critical that we pay special attention to loopholes which leave the process vulnerable to fraud. As part of its push towards electoral reform the Democratic National Alliance is interested in moving the country’s democratic process into the 21st century. During that sit-down, the party’s leadership discussed ways to improve the process through the use of technology and the introduction of a more proportional voting system which would decide our Parliamentary makeup by allocating seats on the basis of the number of votes each party received.

The DNA remains wholly committed to securing our country’s democracy for future generations. Electoral Reform is the first step in that direction.
