Commissioners at the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM), continue to quibble over what will be done with the data gathered from the truncated house-to-house registration process.
Pro-government Commissioner, Vincent Alexander, told the media this afternoon that commissioners on both sides are unyielding.
Alexander said that GECOM has three sets of data, and the decision must be made on how these datasets can be used.
“We continue to hold a position that we have three sets of information. We have the National Register of Registrants; we have the House-to-house information, and we have the recent Claims and Objections. And what in fact should now happen, is that information, in a sense, should be collated to provide us with one list – which seeks to include every eligible person in all three exercises, using the most recent information, as the basis for the compilation of the list.”
He added that the data from the house-to-house registration should be treated as updated information. Alexander said that if someone is on the National Register of Registrants Database (NRRD), but still registered in the house-to-house process, then that individual’s particulars will be updated using the latter process.
This, Alexander said, will not affect the presence of someone’s name on the NRRD, which the Chief Justice (CJ) Roxanne George, has ruled, cannot be removed from the database.
