The Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) has published the list of registrants generated from the contentious national house-to-house registration exercise but commission members are divided on how the information is to be treated, while the opposition has questioned its legality and called for its withdrawal.
Starting around 3 pm yesterday, Sunday Stabroek visited several locations in Georgetown and observed that lists of names had been published and displayed under the heading “House to House 2019: List of Applicants.”
The lists have been attached to the Preliminary List of Electors (PLE) which is currently the subject of an ongoing Claims and Objections (C&O) exercise. The PLE was published via an Order signed by GECOM chair Justice Claudette Singh on September 26th. This order, which is attached to each copy of the PLE, advises persons that between the days of October 1 and November 11 they may, if they qualify to do so, make a claim to be included on the list or object to the inclusion of a person not similarly qualified.
