Migration, death, and even imprisonment are among the reasons why some city residents on the national register have not collected identification cards from the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM), a check by this newspaper has found.
When Stabroek News visited approximately two dozen city addresses listed for persons who have been identified as having failed to uplift their identification cards, some also laid blame at the door of GECOM as they said that they received little to no information about the collection of their cards.
And despite the publication of the list of 18,512 who have not collected their cards, several of these persons remain unsure of where they should go to get them.
