Jamaicans in Cayman feeling shut out of their country’s elections
As Jamaicans prepare to head to the polls on 3 Sept., thousands of their countrymen and women in Cayman will be watching the elections from afar. Despite deep ties to home – through mortgages, remittances and family – most will be unable to vote unless they purchase a plane ticket back to the island.
