The Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) was unable to locate 6,534 of the 16,863 new registrants recorded during the truncated national house-to-house (HtH) registration exercise.
According to information released last evening by GECOM’s Public Relations Officer (PRO) Yolanda Warde, 10,329 registrants were verified, while 6,534 were not. Warde said that those 6,534 persons could not be verified for various reasons, including not being home when GECOM operatives and scrutineers from political parties visited.
Based on the breakdown provided, Region Four accounted for the largest number of unverified registrants, with 4,056 (52.6%) of 7,713 registrants verified, while 3,657 (47.4%) unverified. Region Three accounted for the second largest number, with 1,651 (54.3%) of 3038 registrants verified and 1,387 (45.7%) unverified.
