At 10:30 the USP drove to Parliament with a motorcade. Leader of the Party Pamela Gordon and President of the Party Cecil Nicolas submitted a list with 11 candidates.
The National Alliance marched from their headquarters on Pondfill through Front Street with the largest number of supporters.

Leader of the NA Prime Minister Silveria Jacobs submitted a list with 23 candidates.
At 11:30 the one-man party ECE submitted its list with its leader as Nigel Wigley. ECE, who is contesting the elections for the first time has to secure 134 signatures tomorrow at the Civil Registry to make his party eligible to contest the upcoming elections.
In the afternoon after the lunch break the NOW Political party made its way to the Parliament Building. The NOW who will be contesting the Parliamentary elections for the first time submitted a list with 21 candidates says its leader Christophe Emmanuel.

At 3:30 pm it was the Democratic Party led by Sarah Wescot Williams that marched through Front Street with a large crowd to submit their lists of 23 candidates. Even though the DP has contested several elections over the years, its leader also has to secure 134 signatures on Thursday to make the party eligible to contest the 2024 elections. Reasons for this the DP did not contest the elections in 2020 and as such the Democratic Party was removed from the voters registry. Also good to note that the Democratic Party has about five elderly persons on their lists, the oldest one being 80-year-old confirmed party leader Sarah Wescot Williams.
