With fewer than 300 persons collecting their national identification (ID) cards since some 18,512 with uncollected cards were named, the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) is hoping to ramp up its public awareness campaign to possibly improve the public response.
“As of [Sunday], 290 persons around the country have collected their ID cards,” Public Relations Officer (PRO) Yolanda Ward told Stabroek News yesterday.
Ward noted that this response is less than hoped for and indicated that in the coming days her department will be moving to institute a series of radio ads as a possible means of improving the public response.
