Once general elections are set, the electoral watchdog, EAB says it will be prepared for its usual testing of the voters list and other activities.
Head of the Electoral Assistance Bureau (EAB) Father Malcom Rodrigues told Stabroek News last week that the EAB had not been reactivated as yet since there has been no official word from the Guyana Elections Commission (Gecom) on when elections will be called. The Bureau is not a standing body and as such it would need a firm date prior to reactivation. The non-governmental EAB has monitored elections since the historic 1992 polls and has been lauded for the work it has done with vetting the voters list and other elections-related activities.
He said, “we haven’t heard anything specifically… we know the (current) debate over the quality of the list,”
