27,491 Voters Went Silent. The Problems Got Louder. 

In the Virgin Islands, silence has power. 

An estimated 27,491 registered voters in our territory did not participate in recent elections.

But when it comes to voting, silence can also come at a cost. 

An estimated 27,491 registered voters in our territory did not participate in recent elections. That’s not just a number—it represents neighbors, families, coworkers, and entire communities whose voices were not heard when decisions were being made. 

And when fewer people speak up, the problems we care about don’t get quieter—they get louder. 

When We Don’t Vote, We Don’t Get Chosen 

Every election shapes the future of our islands—our healthcare, our cost of living, our infrastructure, and the services we rely on as we age. 

When we don’t show up, decisions still get made. 

Policies still move forward. 

Leaders still get chosen. 

But they move forward without the full voice of our community. 

Voting is one of the simplest ways to be heard. It’s how we say: 

“These are the issues that matter to me.” 

“This is the future I want for my family.” 

“This is what our community deserves.” 

This Isn’t About Politics. It’s About Power.

Keeping our community informed is our top priority.
