Opposition-appointed members of GECOM yesterday charged that late changes were made to the list of polling places by the Chief Election Officer (CEO) without their knowledge, adding to concerns raised by the PPP that its supporters could be disadvantaged on polling day.
In a statement yesterday Sase Gunraj, Bibi Shadick and Robeson Benn said that they had been given a list of polling stations in the middle of January by CEO Keith Lowenfield that they deemed to be acceptable only to find out that a new list on February 20 had major changes including the eliminating of many private residences as polling places.
Lowenfield could not be contacted yesterday for comment.
