Reply: In the Government Programme 2025-2026, we stated that “Government will embark on wide consultations to implement inclusive and participatory reforms aimed at modernising the electoral process and bringing celerity in the access to justice over electoral matters.” In this context, a Communiqué was issued by my Office on 02 December 2025, inviting all stakeholders, including Political Parties, Academia, the Mauritian Diaspora, Trade Unions, NGOs and Civil Society Organisations, and the public at large to submit their proposals and suggestions to my Office by Friday 30 January 2026. Rodrigues will have the opportunity to submit its proposals for electoral reforms.

140 With regard to the amendments to the Rodrigues Regional Assembly Act, my Office has received proposals from the hon. Member, following a meeting that hon. Mrs Franchette Gaspard Pierre Louis, Minority Leader of the Rodrigues Regional Assembly and Deputy Leader of Organisation du Peuple de Rodrigues, has had with the Deputy Prime Minister on 25 September 2025. At a recent meeting that hon. Grandcourt, Chief Commissioner of the Rodrigues Regional Assembly, has had with the Deputy Prime Minister, it has been agreed that a Committee will be set up to look into the review of the Rodrigues Regional Assembly Act and the Electoral System. I am informed by the Rodrigues Regional Assembly that its Executive Council has not yet approved any amendment to be brought to the Rodrigues Regional Assembly Act. On receipt of proposed amendments from the Rodrigues Regional Assembly, consultations will be undertaken with all relevant stakeholders with a view to ensuring a comprehensive review of the Rodrigues Regional Assembly Act.
