Hundreds rush to meet registration deadline
As the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) yesterday prepared to wrap up its registration process, scores of unregistered persons, both young and old, flooded locations all across the country, for their last minute registrations.
Although the lines moved at a sluggish pace, many were prepared to wait out of fear that they might be penalized since it was announced via the media, that persons eligible and unregistered will be prosecuted.
