Citizens Action for Fair and Free Elections (CAFFE) has rejected claims that it has tarnished the reputation of the Electoral Commission of Jamaica, and the result of the recently-concluded general polls.

Yesterday, the commission called on CAFFE to retract a claim, which implied, that at 21 percent of polling stations electors were turned away, despite being in the line at 5:00 P.M., when polls closed on September 3.

The commission labelled the claim as false, noting that no such report was made by any commission official, political party or accredited international observer.

The situation has prompted widespread dialogue among members of the public.

In response, CAFFE Chairman, Grace Baston said its statement immediately following the general election, commended the professional manner in which the poll was carried out.

Mrs. Baston said that position remains the same.

She sought to clarify, that CAFEE did not say voters were turned away at 21 per cent of polling stations.

Ms. Baston explained that CAFFE’s statement related to the reports from 21 per cent of its observers from approximately 60 polling stations.

She said the contents of CAFFE’s report were misrepresented.

Mrs Baston also explained that so far, it was only in one case, that there appears to be any substance in the allegation, that a voter was turned away.
