I just heard that elections are taking place on 12/29. We're scheduled to fly in that next day. In past elections, to the extent there are any large gatherings (or riots) are they typically only in the days leading up to the election and the day of or is it possible this could carryover.
I'm just wondering whether we should anticipate having any issues getting from the airport to Negril on the 30th.
Is the election heated this year compared to years past? I have no idea about the political climate - I had just read that there have been problems in the past so a little concerned.
I'm suprised they decided to hold elections during what is likely the busiest week of the year for tourism.
