GECOM will not release early elections results –at the expense of accuracy

GECOM is hinting to Guyanese that there will be big trouble at the upcoming elections.

GECOM must set up cameras in and out of all polling stations, with feeders to all those in authority, so they can see what’s taking place in and out and around polling stations.
PNC employees and volunteers who are supposed to sign off before they leave the polling stations just walk out to create mayhem so PNC leaders/operatives can holler to the top of their lungs, ‘PPP rigged elections’.
Serious laws should be passed that any person/s employed to work at polling stations on Election Day that walk out of the polling station without signing off on their sheet must be sentenced in a huge way if there are to be free, fair, transparent, credible, non-intimidation election.
Cameras in and out of polling stations are a must, if elections are to be free and fair.
The Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) says notwithstanding its greatest desire to provide accurate results of the upcoming May 11 elections at the earliest possible time, it remains exceedingly cognizant of the existing logistical and other challenges it faces in doing so.
As such, GECOM, in a media release, is encouraging Guyanese to “be very cautious and responsible, and to carefully manage their expectations of the timely announcement of the May 11 elections result.”
GECOM says, “The electoral system to be used for the conduct of Elections 2015 will be the system of Proportional Representation, along with some elements of Geographical and Gender Representation. Guyana is one single constituency consisting of hundreds of thousands of electors responsible for the election of the President and the 65 members of the National Assembly. This means that in order for GECOM to arrive at accurate results, all votes from all the polling stations across the length and breadth of Guyana must be counted.”
