Grenadians will go to the polls on Thursday, 23 June 2022.
Prime Minister, Dr the Right Honourable Keith Mitchell, made the announcement at a political meeting in Telescope, St Andrew on Saturday night.
Explaining the timetable for the run-up to the poll, Dr Mitchell said he has already asked the Governor-General to dissolve Parliament, effective Monday, 16 May.
Further, he has asked the Governor-General to issue the writ for elections on 17 May. This essentially means that Grenadians who are not yet registered have only one remaining day to do so, and be able to cast their ballot in the upcoming general elections.
Nomination day for candidates will be Wednesday, 1 June.
As is customary, police officers will participate in advance polling on Monday, 20 June, while the rest of the electorate will vote on 23 June.

That’s what dictatorship looks like.
I hope Grenadians see the upcoming election as the critical opportunity it is to make leadership change for a better tomorrow for Grenada, and break from the same old stagnant policies of current leadership, that has resulted in the country tittering at the edge of a cliff. Everywhere one looks, the evidence of the current failed leadership can be seen. From the increasing dilapidation of the capital to the unkempt conditions of the airport; from the poor maintenance of roads to the almost non-existence of standards at the fish market, or the ubiquitous fading advertisement on the sides of roads, that makes on question if anyone cares, Grenada more and more feels like a country whose future is not bright and might soon rival Haiti. It is time to break the current unhealthy cycle of populist voting and instead elect leadership with a vision to make the country completive again.
While the rush to the Elections was in The Wind; such an early and within 5 weeks was rather a huge surprise to many.
We would assume the Express Route before any pots boil over or more issues & fires erupt.
Doc should be checking self in a Senior Retirement Facility – not trying Botanical Gardens again and again and again.
It most likely the shivers it send up and down him on hearing his colleague in the BVI was not above the law but behind bars. Here, this Regime and this continued & ongoing corruption coverups do now need to surface as Grenada & its citizens been looted bone dry.
No grand talk of massive oil discoveries will work this time, Also, Public Service Workers been hoodwinked once too many times; past & the present.
Thus … The Clock is Ticking.
