Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) Chairman Justice (Ret’d) James Patterson has written to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in relation to recommendations by a United Nations (UN) Needs Assessment Mission (NAM) on technical assistance to aid in voter registration and the general elections process in 2019 and 2020.

A GECOM commissioner told Sunday Stabroek that Patterson “has finally written a letter to the UNDP in respect of the matter.”

The commissioner said Patterson disclosed that he had written to the UNDP at last Tuesday’s statutory meeting of the elections commission.
