The Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) is cautioning citizens not to divulge their personal information to persons claiming to represent the Commission as it is not currently conducting any field exercise around the country.

The call comes as the GECOM announced that residents in a number of regions have reported that persons have been visiting their homes under the pretense of GECOM representatives.

“Several persons from Regions 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 in particular have contacted the GECOM Secretariat to query the nature of the exercise after being visited by persons purported to be from the Commission.
“Please be advised that the Commission is not engaged in any such field exercise and is therefore urging citizens to be extremely cautious and not to provide any information those persons as their motive is unknown and can be potentially harmful,” the Commission said in a release on Wednesday. Citizens are also being asked to make contact the Commission’s Public Relations Officer on 223-9653 should further clarification be needed.
