GECOM decision on house to house data delayed again

Sase Gunraj

The Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) has again delayed making a decision on the use of the House to House (HtH) until such time as certain anomalies are resolved.

Speaking with reporters yesterday outside of GECOM’s head office, opposition-nominated commissioner Sase Gunraj explained that the commission continues to grapple with the issue. He explained that the report on the fingerprint cross-matching exercise indicated that more than 60,000 of those who registered during HtH were not in the National Register of Registrants Database (NRRD)

“One would want to assume that those are new persons but the Chief Election Officer has indicated that the secretariat examined the report and found about 17,000 people who were presumed to be new on the NRRD,” Gunraj said.
