By Belize Live News Staff: Early ballot counts from Caye Caulker indicate a decisive rejection of legal cannabis, with the NO vote showing a commanding lead in what election watchers are describing as a landslide.
Preliminary figures reveal that the NO vote is leading by as much as four to one in at least one ballot box — a margin that local observers say is nearly impossible to overturn in a small voting area like Caye Caulker.
The early results signal a strong stance from residents of the island community, who appear to be voting overwhelmingly against the proposed legalization of marijuana. The sentiment on the ground suggests that many voters are wary of how legal cannabis could impact Caye Caulker’s image, economy, and community values.
As counting continues, the NO vote remains firmly ahead, prompting celebrations among those opposed to legalization. While official results are still pending, early indicators point to Caye Caulker delivering one of the most decisive rejections of cannabis legalization seen so far.
Belize Live News will continue to monitor the counting process and provide updates as more results become available.
