CaribbeanElections.com was developed to provide current and historical information on politics in the Caribbean, with a focus on the electoral process. As such the site provides information for students, teachers, parents and the public on how the various electoral systems with the Caribbean work. There is an intentional focus on citizenship education and the importance of being involved in the democratic process. Lesson plans, activities and resources are also provided to assist in classroom delivery and for general knowledge. We also include historical data which may be utilised by researchers.

Launched in January 2008 for the Barbados General Elections, the site now contains information on the 2008 elections in Grenada, the 2009 elections in Antigua and Barbuda and St. Kitts and Nevis, and the 2010 elections in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. CaribbeanElections.com continues to be updated to include information on all other countries within the next few months. We have also added the Caribbean Elections Community, a social network, to facilitate continued dialogue and sharing of information on politics, democracy, and related areas.

Our site is the leading portal for information on democracy, citizenship, politics, and the electoral process in the Caribbean. We have cooperative relationships with the electoral bodies in each country for which we present information. CaribbeanElections.com is a reference site for several major international election portals.

CaribbeanElections.com is provided as a public service by KnowledgeWalk Institute, a Barbados-based Educational Technology company.
