Sixty ballot boxes from the March 2nd general elections were recounted yesterday – the highest daily total since the exercise started 12 days ago – and the tabulated result for District One was signed off by all parties even as GECOM continues to wait for the COVID-19 task force to approve more work stations to speed the process up.
Yesterday’s tally brought the total number of completed boxes to 588 out of 2,339.
Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM), Yolanda Ward said 13 boxes from Region 2, 15 from District 3, 14 from District 4 and 18 from District 5 were completed. According to Ward nine out of 136 boxes are still to be counted for District 2 and should they be able to complete them today, they will commence counting District 6 ballots.
