GECOM to discuss electoral law amendments on Tuesday

The Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) is slated to finally commence discussion on Tuesday on the proposed amendments to the Representation of the People Act (RoPA), weeks after Chairperson retired Justice Claudette Singh made submissions to the government.

The decision was made at Tuesday’s statutory meeting according to Opposition-nominated Commissioner Vincent Alexander.

Alexander said “When we meet again next week [Tuesday] we have decided that meeting will be dedicated to discussing the amendments to RoPA made by the government and offering our own submissions. So when we are finished there will be a GECOM submission to make to the government on the amendments.”
