After adding two workstations, the Guyana Elections Commission was yesterday able to raise its daily total for recounted ballot boxes to 76. This is the highest daily total recorded over the 14 days of the National Recount for the March 2nd general and regional elections which has processed a total of 718 of 2,339 boxes.
According to GECOM public relations officer, Yolanda Ward, those boxes recounted include 18 from Electoral District Three, 14 from District Four, 18 from District Five, 18 from District Six and eight from District Seven.
This is the first day that District Seven is being recounted. Ballot boxes from this District are being processed at one of the two new stations. At the current rate this station would need 10 days to completely recount the 84 boxes generated after polling in that district.
