People were motivated to register to vote by our local upcoming artist which included Actress Goretta, Junior Fire, Gaza Queen, Rodney Killer, Culture Kid and Dadza D was the main attraction of the day.
A total of 94 people comprising 54 women and 40 men managed to register during the day using one BVR kit that was installed in St Mary’s community hall.
