Nevisians head to the polls Tuesday for the latest elections on the island.

Nevis Premier Joseph Parry’s Nevis Reformation Party is facing off against the Concerned Citizens Movement, led by Vance Amory.

All five seats of the Nevis Island Assembly are in play.

A CARICOM observation mission is currently in Nevis to monitor the vote in all five constituencies.
