APNU/AFC launches project to get unofficial elections results

ANPUAFCGeorgetown: The A Partnership for National Unity/Alliance For Change (APNU/AFC) coalition has launched a public service initiative to help the general public access unofficial elections results in a timely manner.

Project GPS has two phases, the coalition said in a release. Phase One is the GPS mapping of all the Polling Booth locations for the May 11 General and Regional Elections. Phase Two is the submission of photographs of the Statements of Poll (SOPs) on election night. Members of the public are asked to submit the GPS locations and photos of polling stations nationwide using their smartphones via WhatsApp to mobile number 602-7021.

On election night members of the public are asked to take a photo of the SOP after it is posted outside the polling station and send the same to the same number or upload to their social media accounts using the hashtag #guyanadecides. According to the coalition, all the SOPs will be collated and posted on the Internet for everyone countrywide and overseas to see unofficial results. The website on which the results will be posted will be announced later.
