THE Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) is urging all registrants who have completed registration transactions but have not yet collected their National Identification Cards to do so as soon as possible.

In an official advisory issued on Wednesday, GECOM reminded citizens that the National Identification Card is the primary and preferred form of identification used on Election Day to verify voters’ identities at polling stations.

The Commission stressed that presenting a National ID Card when voting significantly speeds up the process, helping to reduce waiting time for individual voters and easing congestion in queues at polling stations nationwide.

GECOM noted that ID cards are ready for collection by persons who have applied for new registrations, changes of name, or corrections to their personal information. This includes ID cards produced during previous registration cycles, as well as the recent Claims and Objections exercise held in June 2025.
Registrants must visit the same Registration Office where they completed their transactions to uplift their ID Cards in person.
The Commission has provided the following working hours for all Registration Offices: Monday to Thursday: 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM – 4:30 PM; and Friday: 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM – 3:30 PM

GECOM is encouraging all affected persons to make every effort to collect their ID Cards ahead of the upcoming election period to ensure smooth, efficient processing on Election Day.
