AS preparations intensify for the September 1, 2025, General and Regional Elections, the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) on Wednesday received the necessary election material.
This was confirmed by government-nominated commissioner Sase Gunraj on Wednesday evening in a post via social media.
Gunraj stated that the commission received ballot papers and other sensitive materials for the General and regional elections, and the said material was being processed by the commission.
This process was also scrutinised by political parties and observers.

Six parties are set to contest the upcoming elections: the A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C), Alliance For Change (AFC), Assembly for Liberty and Prosperity (ALP), Forward Guyana Movement (FGM) and We Invest in Nationhood (WIN).

Only four of the six—APNU, AFC, PPP/C and WIN have submitted candidate lists for all ten (10) electoral districts in the Regional Elections.
The ALP will only contest in districts Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, and Ten, while FGM has opted to contest in districts One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, and Ten.

GECOM had confirmed that seven political parties had initially submitted lists of candidates on Nomination Day, July 14, 2025. However, only six met the legal requirements and were approved.
