The Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) has denied a request from oil company, ExxonMobil for its offshore workers to be granted proxy votes.
The decision has been criticised by government-appointed GECOM commissioner, Vincent Alexander.
“I am of the conviction that the law relating to proxies is applicable to Exxon workers. The decisions so far represents a disenfranchisement of those workers and possible voter suppression,” Alexander told reporters on Tuesday.
