Dear Editor,
If one is to study the work plan from the 2011 Elections, it reveals an important point. From July 18, 2011 when the Preliminary List of Electors (PLE) was extracted from the National Register of Registrants (NRR) to put the Claims & Objection (C&O) process into gear, until that process was completed on September 4, 2011, only 48 days (just over 6 weeks) were consumed. At the end of the C&O process Guyana had a Revised List of Electors (RLE). The political parties were able to use this RLE to further help GECOM make any last minute valid and verified modifications before they printed the Official List of Electors (Actual Voter’s List). Any person with an average mathematics competence will tell you that there were still 42 days for GECOM to exhaust the full 90 days or 3 months as prescribed by Article 106 of the Constitution.
So why is there a school of thought coming out GECOM that they can only produce a Christmas List? It is a bogus position, full stop.
Mr. Keith Lowenfield, the Chief Election Officer must be called to account.
Yours faithfully,
Sasenarine Singh
