The Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) has responded to several reports it has received about persons pretending to be GECOM staff. The scammers are reportedly visiting homes and offering to conduct transactions as part of the Claims and Objections exercise.
This is according to the Secretariat’s Public Relations Officer, Yolanda Ward.
GECOM is urging persons to refuse transactions with those individuals, and to report them to the police.
Yesterday, the Department of Public Information noted particular issues occurring in Tuschen, West Coast Demerara.
The persons are reportedly telling the residents that the House-to-House Registration process was illegal. GECOM said that these persons are no authorised by the Commission and that they should not be furnished with personal information.
Transactions are only being done at the GECOM permanent and temporary registration offices, countrywide.
The House-to-House exercise had been challenged by Attorney-at-Law, Christopher Ram, and Chief Justice Roxane George-Wiltshire did not find it to be illegal.
Though the Commission chose to suspend the exercise, it will be using the information gathered to refine the Preliminary List of Electors (PLE).
Meanwhile, the Claims and Objections exercise continues.
Voters can view their own information on the Preliminary List of Electors (PLE), on the website of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) at the following link: http://www.gecom.org.gy/home/ple
This is useful for persons who may want to ensure certain details about their registration are correct. The online database allows access to a person’s registration details once their Identification Number is entered. The details accessible online are name, occupation, address, district and division.
In addition, GECOM has made 10 PDF softcopies of lists online; one for each administrative district. That link is http://gecom.org.gy/post/get/lists
