GECOM Distances Itself from Fake Link to Online Recruitment Portal

Apr 25, 2025 Letters

Dear Editor

The Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) has seen evidence of the existence of a fake link (https://tinyurl.com/gecom-gy-recruitment) purporting to be a GECOM online employment recruitment portal for the upcoming General and Regional Elections. Consequently, the Commission distances itself from this fake recruitment portal, and takes the opportunity to categorically state that it has not established any such recruitment portal.

The general public is hereby notified to disregard this attempt by persons unknown keeping in mind that the provision of personal information could have serious consequences for them. The Commission is cognizant that this type of mischief including the publication of misinformation and disinformation will emerge, especially during an election period. The Commission therefore demands that persons desist from such acts, which can have devastating consequences on (i) participation in the democratic process, and (ii) cause confusion and mistrust and (iii) undermine the credibility of the electoral processes.

In view of the foregoing, citizens are urged to be extremely cautious and to verify the authenticity of information being circulated in relation to the operations and activities of the Guyana Elections Commission. Specifically, the public is advised to always check the accuracy of the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) before clicking on links. It must be noted that information being posted on the GECOM’s website will always include the authentic URL – www.gecom.org.gy.

Against this backdrop, persons are asked to contact GECOM on telephone numbers 225-0277-9, 223-9650 or 223-9653 or via Facebook messenger atttps://www.facebook.com/GuyanaElectionsCommission to report or clarify any such concerns.

Regards

Guyana Elections Commission
