After yesterday’s statutory meeting of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM), Corbin told reporters that the secretariat gave, with their report, “gave a clear indication of where they were, in the process of preparing for House to House registration.”
He said that the training of staff to conduct the process was done a while back, and had been discussed during a previous statutory meeting. All the necessary arrangements have been made to ensure that staff could be made available to conduct the process.

But from what we heard, it would appear as though the wheels are turning. The secretariat is fully geared to move in accordance with the arrangements they have in place.”
The current step for the preparation is procurement of a series of materials.
