The Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) has managed a little more than 4,000 visits in its attempts to verify the new registrants from the House to House (HtH) exercise and confirmed around 2,000 as the other persons were not at home or could not be found.
While most Guyanese took to the streets for Christmas shopping, GECOM staff accompanied by scrutineers from the two parliamentary parties visited homes as part of a four-day field verification exercise.
Beginning on Thursday and ending tomorrow, the 16,300 supposedly new registrants recorded during the truncated national house-to-house registration exercise will receive visits to verify that they are indeed first-time registrants.
