The advertisement noted under the direct supervision of the chief election officer, (CEO) successful candidates will be responsible for designing and developing training materials specifically tailored for the conduct of LGE, organising and implementing effective training strategies for election staff, evaluating the performance of participants at the conclusion of each training session etc.

Local Government Election is deemed a high priority for citizens, as it stipulates governance and policies at the local democratic or” grass root” level. The elections will pave the way for the appointment of councilors for the 65 Neighborhood Democratic Councils and six municipalities countrywide. Constitutionally, LGE are due every three years.

Guyana’s local government election history is marked by significant delays, with the last elections held in 1994, leading to prolonged periods where councils were not renewed, despite constitutional requirements and calls for reform.

Local government elections were last held in June 2023.
