Today at 9 am the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) will attempt once again to complete the tabulation of the votes cast in Region Four during the March 2 General and Regional Elections (GRE). The method to be used to effect this count however remains unknown.
“The Returning Officer as the Statutory Officer will so advise,” GECOM Public Relations Officer Yolanda Ward indicated when asked.
Based on an order of the High Court the process should have begun in earnest by 11 am yesterday but it was once again suspended after political parties and observers objected to the use of a “spreadsheet” by Returning Officer Clairmont Mingo.
