CARICOM Observes Peaceful General Elections in Suriname
CARICOM Election Observation Mission to Suriname's May 25 Parliamentary Elections.
ARICOM continues to uphold democratic traditions in the Region by deploying Election Observation Missions (CEOMs) at the request of Member States. These missions provide an independent, impartial, and honest assessment of the preparations for and conduct of General Elections. Suriname invited CARICOM to observe its General Elections on May 25, 2025.
A nine-member team, led by Ms. Dora James, Supervisor of Elections from St. Vincent and the Grenadines, oversaw the elections. On polling day, the team visited 136 polling stations across six districts: Commewijne, Coronie, Marowijne, Paramaribo, Saramacca, and Wanica.
The CEOM observed that voting was generally conducted in an orderly manner, with most polling staff efficiently performing their duties. Despite some operational and staffing challenges, the General Elections of May 25, 2025, were peaceful and conducted in an atmosphere of robust civic engagement and camaraderie among the Surinamese people.
