Guyana gets low score for perception of electoral integrity

The controversial 2020 national elections must have been the reason for Guyana scoring a poor rating of 43 out of 100 in the perceptions of electoral integrity conducted by the Electoral Integrity Project, according to its most recent report.

At 43 Guyana is only above Venezuela, Haiti, Honduras and Nicaragua for the countries of the Americas that were assess-ed and has the lowest score for the countries in the Caribbean that were included in the report. The highest ranked Caribbean countries are Jamaica and Barbados who rank at 67 and 66, respectively. Trinidad at 59 is just above the United States which was ranked at 57. Canada leads the Americas with a score of 83.
