Georgetown: President David Granger was informed by Chairman of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM), Justice (ret’d) James Patterson that elections can be held in November, 2019.
In the letter dispatched to the Head-of-State, the GECOM Chair explained that since the Elections Body is continuing with its normal work programme, that is, the holding of House-to-House registration, it will need some $3.5B to host elections.
In this regard, the GECOM Chair said “no election date should be contemplated less than five months after these funds are placed at the disposal of and under the control of GECOM”.
An official list of electors will have a qualifying date of October 31, 2019.
