Registrants urged to uplift ID cards before E-day

Jul 24, 2025 News

Kaieteur News – The Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) is reminding the public to collect their national identification card (ID) as it is the primary and preferred form of identification that is used to identify persons as qualified voters on election day.

In a release, GECOM noted that it is in possession of a number of ID cards from previous cycles of registration, including those from the claims and objections exercise that was conducted in June, 2025

The commission warned that the presentation of his/her ID card facilitates faster processing of the elector thereby reducing processing time for electors to vote, as well as the time other electors would have to wait in the queue to vote.

In this regard, GECOM is notifying all registrants who have conducted registration transactions but have not as yet uplifted their ID cards to visit the registration office where they conducted registration to uplift their respective ID cards. The varying transactions for which ID cards were produced include applications for (i) registration, (ii) change of name, and (iii) or correction to particulars on ID Cards.

GECOM said all identification cards can be uplifted from the respective registration office during the following working hours: Monday – Thursday 8:00hrs – 12:00hrs 13:00hrs – 16:30hrs Friday 8:00hrs – 12:00hrs 13:00hrs – 15:30hrs.

The commission is also advising the concerned persons that they must visit the relevant registration office in person to uplift their ID cards.
