COR­REC­TION: This sto­ry, which orig­i­nal­ly ap­peared on page A3 on Jan­u­ary 16, 2013, mis­re­port­ed the find­ings of a poll con­duct­ed by So­lu­tion by Sim­u­la­tion. The poll did sug­gest that the in­cum­bent PNM would score an 11 to 1 vic­to­ry in next week's THA elec­tion. In the case of the re­main­ing one seat, how­ev­er, the find­ing was that it would be a sta­tis­ti­cal tie. Our apolo­gies for the er­ror.

Act­ing chief elec­tion of­fi­cer Ramesh Nanan says all mea­sures are in place for a suc­cess­ful con­duct of next Mon­day's To­ba­go House of As­sem­bly elec­tion.

Speak­ing with the T&T Guardian yes­ter­day Nanan said there were dai­ly re­quire­ments to be put in place on spe­cif­ic days and those were be­ing im­ple­ment­ed on sched­ule.

Those mea­sures, he added, in­clud­ed get­ting cer­tain doc­u­ments and oth­er ma­te­ri­als in place at spe­cif­ic times. He said all sys­tems were "go" for the con­duct of a suc­cess­ful THA elec­tion.

He said 46,607 elec­tors were reg­is­tered to vote, an in­crease of 3,984 from the 2009 elec­tion.

Nanan said 530 polling-day work­ers have been trained to en­sure the ex­er­cise took place fair­ly and freely at 97 polling sta­tions in 67 polling di­vi­sions.

Three par­ties–the Peo­ple's Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM), the To­ba­go Or­gan­i­sa­tion of the Peo­ple (TOP) and the Plat­form for Truth (PFT)–have each nom­i­nat­ed 12 can­di­dates to con­test the 12 elec­toral dis­tricts.

A poll con­duct­ed last week by the firm, So­lu­tion by Sim­u­la­tion, sug­gest­ed the in­cum­bent PNM, led by chief sec­re­tary Orville Lon­don, would score a land­slide 11 to 1 vic­to­ry, and TOP leader Ash­worth Jack may lose his elec­toral dis­trict of Prov­i­dence/Ma­son Hall/Mo­ri­ah.

The poll­sters said TOP was ex­pect­ed to win the oth­er seat, al­though TOP leader Ash­worth Jack may lose his elec­toral dis­trict of Prov­i­dence/Ma­son Hall/Mo­ri­ah.

Nanan said all those reg­is­tered to vote would be al­lowed to vote as long as their names were on the list of elec­tors.

The elec­toral ink, se­cu­ri­ty and oth­er polling-day re­quire­ments would be in place, he said.

"As at to­day's date, we at the EBC are on track with all that we have to do for Mon­day's elec­tion," he added.

He said the EBC's reg­is­tra­tion of­fice in Scar­bor­ough was a crit­i­cal cen­tre for run­ning the elec­tion.

The EBC said the elec­tion was ex­pect­ed to cost about $3 mil­lion.
