On 18 January, Philip Catlyn, a member of the Barbados Sovereignty Party (BSP), filed for an injunction against the President and the Attorney General to stop the election. He argued that the home isolation requirements for those testing positive for COVID-19 would prevent close to 5,000 people from voting. Barbados does not allow absentee voting.{{Cite web|date=18 January 2022|title=Barbados Opposition files motion to stop general election|url=https://www.jamaicaobserver.com/latestnews/Barbados_Opposition_files_motion_to_stop_general_election|access-date=2022-01-27|website=Jamaica Observer}} After hearing the legal arguments.
