Gunraj to press for sanctions for ‘dishonest’ registration verification move

Sase Gunraj

Following what he believes is an error in the Guyana Elections Commission’s (GECOM) announcement that all potential voters for the 2020 elections must verify their registration, opposition-nominated commissioner Sase Gunraj said that he will press for sanctions against those responsible.

Gunraj told Stabroek News yesterday that at GECOM’s statutory meeting tomorrow, he will be asking for an investigation into the matter and to have sanctions imposed against persons responsible for any erroneous missives.

GECOM, on Friday, said that all potential voters for the 2020 elections must verify their registration during the extended Claims and Objections (C&O) process, sparking a furore among opposition-nominated commissioners who said the move was illegal.
