The Carter Center said today that many of its interlocutors have expressed concerns that the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM)is not communicating effectively with the broader public as and political contestants, particularly beyond the two main parties. These are the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) and the A Partnership for National Unity (APNU).
“While the commission has been issuing regular press releases and maintains an active presence on social media, The Carter Center recommends that GECOM engage the press regularly and predictably in advance of election day and throughout the tabulation process to inform the public about the status of its preparations.”
The Center noted that given the lack of public understanding of the tabulation process in particular, it urges GECOM to clearly communicate tabulation procedures to enhance confidence in the process.
The Center said that it has conducted engagement sessions with key stakeholders in recent weeks as part of its effort to assess electoral preparations and the political environment in Guyana in advance of the September 1, 2025, Elections.
