Over 13,000 objections lodged to names on PVL

The 42-day Objection period of the 2019 Claims and Objections period ended on Monday with in excess of 13,000 objections lodged to the Preliminary Voters List (PVL).

Members of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) told media operatives after yesterday’s statutory meeting that while the exact number of objections has not yet been provided by the secretariat it is significantly more than the 500 which had been reported last week.

Opposition-nominated Commissioner Sase Gunraj explained that Chief Election Officer (CEO), Keith Lowenfield was not present to answer questions but that he and his colleagues have been informed that there are some 13,000 objections particularly at the Mahaicony and Fort Wellington Office.
