The Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) yesterday decided to confirm Melanie Marshall as the substantive Voter Registration Manager, according to Commissioners Vincent Alexander and Sase Gunraj.
For over six months now, the Elections Commission has been trying to fill key vacancies however, some Commissioners are of the view that there is a deliberate attempt to stymie the process.
Back in September/October last year, GECOM advertised for a Chief Election Officer (CEO), Deputy CEO, Assistant CEO, Chief Accountant, Logistics Manager, Legal Officer and Civic and Voter Education Manager. After a months-long process, the post of CEO was filled by Vishnu Persaud and that of Legal Officer by attorney, Kurt Anthony Da Silva.
