Dear Editor,
The work being done via the electoral reform project should ensure that these critical areas are reviewed for improvement and implementation: (1) The house-to-house validation of all eligible voters within a doable timeframe; (2) The use of overseas ballots by those Guyanese nationals outside of the country; (3) The ability to form partnerships or coalitions after the votes have been counted; (4) The publication of the initial statement of polls (SOPs) within a predetermined time frame; (5) A predefined recount process, and, (6) A clear outline and limitation of the role of the Returning Officers and the Chief Election Officer (CEO).
I am certain that the involvement of international and national organizations will add perspective and the implementation of best practices to our Nation’s electoral reform project.
Sincerely,
Jamil Changlee
Chairman
The Cooperative Republicans of
Guyana
