I welcome the correction by the Chairperson of GECOM to its previously announced position which required the attendance of persons at the GECOM offices in order to be included on the list of electors during this period of “claims and objections”. Never in the history of free and fair elections in Guyana was this previously announced position the practice. This previously announced position could have seen hundreds of thousands of persons lose their constitutional right to vote. For those two reasons, the previously announced position is deeply concerning and has damaged the perception of impartiality of GECOM. This situation, though now corrected, should not be swept under the carpet and requires an immediate investigation and public explanation.
Sincerely,
Charles S. Ramson
Attorney at Law
Former Member of Parliament
