As we await the tabulation of the election results by GECOM, several crucial questions must be answered before any results are officially declared.
- GECOM must immediately inform the country of the exact number of Commonwealth citizens who voted in the elections. How long have these persons resided in the country?
- GECOM must immediately inform the country on the exact number of Venezuelans who voted in these elections. When were they naturalized, and were these naturalizations gazetted as the law requires?
- GECOM owes it to full transparency to provide information in no uncertain terms with regards to the dates when ID cards were issued for Commonwealth citizens and Venezuelans to vote in the election.
Overseas voting is not permitted in Guyana’s elections. This was a very controversial issue in the tainted polls of 1968 and 1973. As responsible citizens and representatives of the Guyanese Republic, we ask why our electoral system, and the results should be overwhelmed and tainted by questionable foreign intrusion of this kind.
