The Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) is appealing to over 40,000 registrants to collect their national Identification Cards.
Although more than 475,000 persons are eligible to vote at the November 28, 2011 elections, as of October 15, 43,424 persons are yet to uplift their cards. The figure represents persons registered during the 2008 national house to house registration (24,487), the 2010 claims and objections process for the aborted local government elections (1,051), the 2010 continuous registration exercise (4,591), this year’s claims and objections exercises (10,088) and others who would have sought card replacements or changes (3,207).
