Georgetown : Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) responded to rumors that the absence of the “six digit number” on the ballot papers being used for voting by Members of the Disciplined Forces is evidence that the 2011 General and Regional Elections are being rigged.
GECOM says the procedure for voting by members of the disciplined forces does not include the stamping of the ballot papers with the “six digit number”.
The procedure is nothing new as it had been used in the past Elections insofar as voting by Members of the Disciplined Forces is concerned. There is nothing abnormal about the absence of the “six digit number” from the Ballot Papers being used by Members of the Disciplined Forces to vote.
GECOM calls upon all concerned not to pay heed to the rumours being propagated that the absence of the “six digit number” is indicative of the Elections being rigged.
The Disciplined Forces cast their votes yesterday.
