At the end of more than half of the 25 days assign-ed to the National Recount, the Guyana Elections Commission has completed the processing of 642 ballot boxes, a mere 27% of the 2,339 boxes from the March 2, 2020 General and Regional Elections (GRE).
Additionally, after a four-day wait the National COVID-19 Taskforce has granted the Commission permission to establish two of six additional workstations requested.
Speaking with the media yesterday outside the Arthur Chung Conference Centre (ACCC), Government-nominated GECOM Commissioner Vincent Alexander said that he had seen a report from the taskforce which granted the Commission permission to establish two more workstations and raised concerns about the current adherence to precautionary measures previously recommended.
