Chairperson of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) retired Justice Claudette Singh has made submissions to the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs and Governance outlining some concerns with the proposed amendments to the Representation of the People Act (RoPA).
The government, through the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs and Governance, released the draft amendment on November 5, 2021, and set a six-week period for review, comment and to propose additional amendments. That process ended mid-December with no announcement of an extension but Parliamentary Affairs Minister Gail Teixeira had related that the process remains open.
