Cruise ship piers sunk but voters take chance on lottery, cannabis decriminalisation
Cayman has delivered a firm “no” on the building of cruise ship berths, but backed a national lottery and decriminalisation of possession of small amounts of cannabis.
Results showed about two-thirds of those who cast a vote on cruise berths – 64.5%, or 11,973 people – voted against the controversial plans in a referendum run alongside Wednesday’s general election.
Only 28.75%, or 5,417 people, backed the proposal.
Decriminalisation of personal-use amounts of cannabis also notched up a convincing majority based on the interim figures, this time in favour – 55.13%, (10,385 people) compared with 36.14% (6,809 people) against.
