AFC says house-to-house registration needed for credible elections

The Alliance For Change (AFC) has said that in order for the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) to deliver free, fair and credible elections, it must first address the concerns of all stakeholders, which means embarking on a period of house-to-house registration with the aim of compiling a new voters’ list.

The main opposition APNU+AFC has been calling for the voters’ list to be “sanitized,” arguing that it is padded with names of dead people and those who have migrated. However, some members of the Elections Commission have consistently said that there need to be legislative changes before any house-to-house process can commence.
