The Constitutional Review Commission will commence public consultation on 1st November, 2022.

A number of persons and small groups have earlier noted expressions of interest in meeting with the Commission. Interested persons will therefore now be able to register for day-time meetings by using the calendar on the Commission’s website at  www.yourconstitution.vg. The Secretariat at the Commission will reply to confirm the meeting. Meetings spaces may be reserved for from as early as Tuesday 1st November and for the entire month of November.

In addition, general public meetings throughout the Territory are being finalised and more details on these, including dates, will be communicated via the Commission’s website as well as through public announcements.

The Commission’s website also contains significant educational content including copies of relevant legislation, cases, and articles. The public is encouraged to review this information.

The public is also being encouraged to submit any written comments to the Commission via the comments tool also on the Commission’s website. This will ensure that comments are captured and recorded fully and accurately. 

It is anticipated that opportunities for both public consultation and the submission of written comments will close by mid-December.

The Commission looks forward to engaging with the community over the coming weeks.

Meetings can be scheduled using the website from 8:30am on Monday 31st October, 2022. The other features of the website will be available on Tuesday 1st November, 2022.
