GECOM prepares for local govt. elections

Jul 08, 2015 News

Last weekend, the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) engaged some of its internal staff, consisting of Registration Officers, Assistant Registration Officers, Clerk IIIs and other selected staff from the Voter Registration Division, in a Refresher Training Programme, in order to further instill in them their respective roles and responsibilities.
According to GECOM, some of the important areas addressed at this training exercise were the correct completion of forms, processing of registration transactions, field verification, field investigation and reporting (double registrations), submission of transactions/reports, distribution and record keeping of ID cards, and other pertinent issues relative to Local Government Elections.
GECOM is currently in the early stages of preparation for the likely conduct of Local Government Elections in the future.
“All administrative and logistical arrangements are being carefully fine-tuned and put in place for the efficient, free, fair, and transparent conduct of Local Government Elections,” the commission said yesterday.
One critical subset of GECOM’s preparations is the recruitment and training of adequate and competent staff.
“This is currently being done and will continue as we await the announcement of a definitive date from the Honourable Minister of Communities for the conduct of Local Government Elections, subsequent to his in depth collaboration with GECOM.”
