AFC writes GECOM on claims and objection delays and other issues.

Georgetown : The Alliance for Change says the party has written the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) seeking an urgent audience with regard to a number of concerns which have recently occupied  attention.

The AFC is seriously concerned over GECOM’s postponement of the earlier scheduled Claims and Objections period which resulted in the earliest possible date for elections being rescheduled This delay occurred in spite of the assurances provided at our meeting of March 1, 2011, where it was stated that no impediments existed, save and except the timely release of requested funds.

The AFC is not comfortable with the unilateral reduction of the now commenced Claims and Objections period from 42 days to 32 days which directly resulted from GECOM’s actions as detailed above.

The AFC has written GECOM for documents on

  1. Electronic and hard copies of the list of persons who have been registered but have not uplifted their ID cards.
  2. A hard copy of the latest version of GECOM Work Plan which clearly delineates the target dates and items leading up to Election Day and the declaration of results.
