Five patients at Roy L. Schneider Hospital cast absentee ballots Tuesday after expressing concern that they would be unable to vote because they were hospitalized.
According to a statement from the hospital, four inpatients from St. Thomas and one from St. John in the Medical/Surgical Unit were provided absentee ballots by John Abramson of the V.I. Election System and the hospital's Public Relations Department.
It was not known for whom the patients voted.
