After 11 days of recounting, the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) has completed 546 of 2,339 ballot boxes but it is still awaiting word from the National COVID-19 Task Force on increasing the number of work stations to meet its deadline.
The commission recounted 49 boxes yesterday, which included 11 boxes from Region Two, 14 from Region Three, 13 from Region Four and 11 from Region Five.
GECOM had been expected to make a decision last Friday on adding six more work stations to the 10 currently operating. The idea of adding to the 10 operating stations comes after the recounting process has still not achieved the pace needed for the completion of the count in the 25 days recommended by the gazetted order.
