OAS, Caricom Observer Missions pay courtesy call on President
As Guyana heads for General and Regional Elections on May 11, several countries and 
organisations have dispatched observer missions to monitor the conduct of this historical event. Yesterday, members of the Organisation of American States (OAS) and CARICOM observer missions paid separate courtesy calls on Head of State, Donald Ramotar, at the Presidential Complex.
“The observer missions intend to focus on electoral organisation, financing, and the equal participation of all citizens in the electoral process,” a Government statement explained.
At least seven international observer missions are expected in Guyana for Monday’s polls.
These include the United Nations, the Carter Centre, the Commonwealth and the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR).
“The observer mission members have signed onto protocols, that cover their actions during the election period, and they are expected to visit most of the 2,299 polling stations across Guyana,” the statement said.
