The Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) has published a list of 18,512 registrants whose existence it is seeking to verify owing to their failure to uplift identification cards.
However, for some of those identified, who are migrants, the purpose of the publication remains unclear.
Last Tuesday opposition-nominated Commissioner Sase Gunraj told the media that these persons would not be included in the Official List of Electors (OLE) but GECOM Chair retired Justice Claudette Singh has since stressed that they will be allowed to vote.
