By a majority comprising opposition-nominated members and Chairperson Justice (ret’d) Claudette Singh, the Guyana Elections Commission has decided to undertake a five-day field verification of all the new registrants recorded during the truncated national house-to-house registration exercise.
“GECOM will do some field work which seeks to do a verification of the new registrants before they are committed to the list,” government-nominated Commissioner Vincent Alexander told reporters yesterday.
Alexander stressed that he and other government-nominated commissioners Charles Corbin and Desmond Trotman voted against the proposal, which they view as useless.
