— as mission sets up statistical hub for efficient transmission of information

The European Union’s Election Observer Mission here in Guyana has established a data hub in Georgetown, allowing for information from observers who have been fanned out across the country to be efficiently recorded.

This is according Chief Observer of the European Union Election Observation Mission (EU EOM) to Guyana’s 2025 General and Regional Elections, Robert Biedroń, who moments ago spoke to reporters at a Queenstown, Georgetown polling station.

“When collecting information, we are transmitting all of our findings to our statistical hub, a special hub which we established here in Georgetown, where we collect all the information …this will give us a very clear picture from the counting process from all the regions.”

The EUEOM has some 50 observers who have been fanned out across the country. Some 14 observers had been deployed to hinterland regions back in July and began work engaging locals, pollical party candidates and other stakeholders.

Many of those observers would have also attended campaign meetings and rallies. A larger team from the mission was deployed last Friday.

He noted that the member observer team is well prepared to deliver a comprehensive assessment of the country’s electoral process, stressing that their job is not to intervene but to observe.

“We provide impartial, factual reports which are very valuable for this country, our presence aims to contributes to a better understanding of processes and over a time, somewhat its improvements.”

The mission is expected to provide a preliminary assessment by Wednesday, followed by a detailed report in two months’ time.
